Arran - Will do, thanks.
You know, back in the 1980s when I acquired that S-8900A, I didn't give the vinyl covered cabinet a second thought. How did I know that there were better cabinets out there on the better receivers such as Marantz and Pioneer. I was just happy to have a good, working receiver for five bucks and the cost of parts (four rectifier diodes and a 7000 uF electrolytic, maybe $15-20 back then from an electronics wholesaler in Evansville, Indiana, in ye olden days before the Internet and when parts were much harder to find).
But now, after having seen - and owned - other receivers, yes, I see your point about the vinyl-covered cabinet.
