Another old loft find while clearing out the house – NON-WORKING Denon AV Surround Amplifier, model AVC-2800.
Being sold as SPARES REPAIRS only. Please read the description and check the pictures very clearly, sold as seen and as not-working.
I have a link available (not hard copy) to the official service manual which may help you if you’re going to attempt a do-up job but unfortunately I can’t add it here (eBay policy), but if you’d like this info just send me a message and I can reply with the details. Full specs for this item directly from the Denon site are at the very bottom of this listing.
Amp component does have power going to it (light comes on as can be seen in pictures) and makes a decent clicking noise when certain buttons (both on the piece and the remote) are pressed, however the full LCD doesn’t come on and it isn’t doing it’s audio job. Remote light is coming on when buttons pressed (and causes a reaction on the actual component) so it is working as in powered and connecting to the amp fine. I can’t confirm every button works though because obviously can’t test it fully with the amp not working.
From what I’ve read online it could be a simple thing (may have shorted and just needs a simple reset on the inside), but that’s a bit beyond me to fix. Could be great as a do-up job, or stripped back for parts.
As this is a loft find and I’m not sure of the full history of it (though we have had it working in our home probably a year or so ago), I am assuming all original parts are there (as in it hasn’t been pulled apart / stripped previously) because hubby says he hasn’t tinkered with it, but if you’re after something specific please let me know so I can try and photograph it and check it has what you’re after before purchase.
Sold as seen, no refunds available because ‘it’s not working’ – I have tried to be super honest in the description below, so please check that out before you buy.
Here is what I can tell you about the condition (from a visual inspection):
Casing is complete and is in overall pretty good condition for a pre-loved piece. There are 2 sections with scratches (please see pictures – specifically the pic where you’re looking down from the top, the front darker section which is a small strip has a scratch section on the left hand side and one section on the right hand side which is less noticeable).All 4 feet on the bottom are present and in good condition. Some of the rubber feet are missing / scuffed, but these could be easily replaced.All buttons work (as in click and depress properly when pressed) and all labels are still present and clear. Only things of note, the bass turning knob is slightly stiffer than the other 2 (but still goes back and forth fine)- just mentioning to be super honest.Volume knob turns perfectly as it should – loose but not too loose.Power is going to the component, when plugged in a red light (shown in pics) stays either solid or flashes depending on the setting you try and put it on. However the rest of the screen does not light up as it should.Bottom flap / button cover is complete and in very good cosmetic condition, however it’s not clicking into place so stays open at all times.Remote is working in the sense that when it has batteries in and you press buttons it will light up the red light seen in pics, and also definitely links to the component as when you press the POWER button it generates a response (a click and light coming on on the component). However as the full component isn’t working I can’t check every button works.Remote flap is attached perfectly, no damage and hinge works as it should.Back battery flap is present and in perfect fitting condition. Underneath the battery compartment is very clean and tidy, no sign of battery acid etc.Remote cosmetically has some general light scratches to the back of the controller (to be expected from an older used item) but would still consider in great condition. Play label on the play button has rubbed off, but all the other button labels seem great (please see pictures).Power cable for the component attaches well to the back of the component, has a good clean (UK) plug end, though does have a couple of minor twists in the cable length but as the power is clearly going into the component going to call it working fine. No cuts / breaks in the cable and no loose bits of wire etc.
Unfortunately eBay only allows 12 photos, but I have can take more so if you’re interested please just ask and I can send them in a message (or request exactly what you’d like to see).
Any questions please ask before purchase – I’d rather help work out if it’s the right item for you before a sale (rather than muck about with a return after sale – from your end and mine). If you don’t like the price, feel free to make a reasonable offer 🙂
Dispatched same day when purchased before 3pm Monday – Friday (otherwise sent next working day).
This is a big item and very heavy (around 12kgs without any packaging) so postage costs unfortunately are high. I am charging exactly what the courier company charges me – no extras added in there.
Sent with fully tracked / insured courier.
Happy for free pickup if local so you can save on postage, but is Cash on Collection only (no PayPal).
