    Kenwood KA7150 replacement input selector switch

    If you can hold on a bit more, I have one for you, free of charge. My wife and I are in the middle of moving , and at 72, a bit more of a challenge than it used to be. I'll get back to you in a week or so. Anything else you need for a 7100? Greg

    Kenwood KR-9050 blowing fuse, no power but still clicks. HELP

    I think you're on the right track as what looks like D16 is a bit crusty. That's glue by the way. Check out cdkands.com for how he handled glue issues.

    Kenwood KR-9050 blowing fuse, no power but still clicks. HELP

    Just a pet peeve of mine, but fuses DO NOT protect a circuit downstream of that fuse. One of those three circuits DOWNSTREAM caused the fuse to blow. The connection point (3) after F2 feeds three circuits: display lights, speaker select and the tuner board. You will have to disconnect each...

    Art Dudley.....RIP

    :(....Art's column was always the first I turned to. Lot's to bitch about when it comes to high-end and the magazines that follow them, and I always didn't agree with some of his philosophies, but he was the best.

    Deal or am I being ripped off?

    Robert Harley @ Absolute Sound reviewed these in 2008, so they've out in the market for quite a while. Counter with $450 first and see if he wants to sell them or not. Good luck!

    Kenwood KA-801 Control Board

    For future reference, R61/63 will be same value as R62/64 (470 1/4W) and R69/70 will also be the same value (75 1/4W). HINT: study the right and left side of the circuit board. Does anything jump out at you? D3 is a 28V 1/2 W zener. Good Luck

    Rotel RX-400A - a rebranded Harman Kardon 330A or 330B

    Have no dog in this fight, Mr. Lucy, but Google and The Vintage Knob might help you understand audiojones's point. Harmon had to sell out when he joined the Carter Administration. Beatrice Foods sold that division to Shin Shirasuna.

    how do you replace the drive-belt on a kenwood KRX-5 tape deck?

    You are correct in your assumption. However, you have a real odd unit, it being a cassette receiver. Lots of teardown needed and probably many small tools are going to be needed, ie. small e-clips are usually prevalent in cassette decks. Rick at stereomanuals.com has the service document...

    Alps Power Switch source for Kenwood KR's?

    Not having ever owned a KR unit, I do believe he needs a rotary type....^^^^^.....and that ain't it. Being it's a receiver, but not knowing which one, I also think that is a 5A switch for a tuner or cassette deck, not really suitable for an amp or receiver. If it was mine and the speaker...

    Advice?—Denon DL 103 Cartridge Screws Don't Fit Grado Micro-Control Wood Tonearm

    The main issue, which most here who keep talking about thread size miss, is that the hole spacing is incorrect. Once that issue is addressed, we don't care what the thread size is, the OP could even choose a thread size totally different than the two he currently has. Next comes length, and...
