Luxman M02

I have a vintage Luxman M02 amp that has been setting in my closet for years. The problem is that it powers down after it heats up. I've never had it looked at. Is anyone familiar with this unit? Is it worth investing money in to have it fixed? I also have the preamp and tuner that was made to go with this model.

Good call Hazard,set a budget and stick to it.I have the matching C-02 preamp and while they are both nice units,they're not in the collectable realm.Good luck.

I have the MO2 and CO2 amp and preamp and they sound fantastic. I use them as a second stereo driving JBL Athena SC99s and Boston Acoustic A100s. Vintage 70s and 80s LPs sound soooo good. The current stuff, CDs, sound great, too. I've owned them since early 90s and had some work done on the MO2 (caps I believe)a couple years back. Luxman put out some great stuff and there is no way I will ever sell them! My advice is put some money into them and enjoy.

I owned a few Luxman amplifiers,
First: IMHO it IS worth having it checked out.

Now, the Luxman M-02 implemented the (liquid-cooled)
heat sink, if the unit has sat for very long, the (liquid)
could be dried up.

Sending the message to "shut-down" just my humble opinion.

It might be a place to start looking?
