I have been a kenwood table user for a very long time, here are some thumbnail pics of my warhorse. I really think kenwood put the user done table mod ideas of the 60s and 70s , into their production, when i opened my kd5066 up for the first time, and saw a heavy concrete block screwed to the plinth, from the factory? yes thats a factory mod ive never seen other brands do, I know guys that used to mount their technics in a concrete made outer plinth in the 70s. Kenwood took it to the next level , even on my mid level table. It has a million miles and slight speed vary, so i have it tore down for a total recap, i reset arm play, bypassed the micro switches from rca to cart directly, and removed all automatic function hardware, i love it, and have never missed it more than when i hooked up my spare table and started walking in the room , and the arm started bouncing all over the record, The kenwood never ever skipped and i thought that was how all tables were, nope, not even close.
