Onkyo Integra M-588

Ok. That’s re-assuring. I’ll probably take it for a cleaning at my local dealer. 
I paid approx USD1,600 (purchased it in Singapore). No scratches or anything. Only what I guess is common: the vinyl wood needing a bit of glue.

I have 2x M504's that run a little bit warm and they've been fine for years. Just curious, what did you pay for that? They're hard to find and worth quite a bit

Got it 😉- thanks again for your help, dekay - really appreciate it

Sorry, I reversed the 1.0/.1 duties, but assume you got the drift.

Thank you both, this is really helpful. Appreciate it.

The meters switch "automatically" back and forth depending on how many watts are being registered/used (1X for higher wattage and 0.1X for lower wattage).
