Just wanted to say thanks for this guide. I have cleaned up two of these 1030's recently and you guide was a huge help. Also, these D-10 rack handles sure are hard to come by!

I have decided to upgrade the speakers I am using with the 700 setup. Got a good deal on some new Klipsch RP 280's that sound fantastic to me. They are a huge improvement over the old Klipsch Synergy F20's, nowhere near as bright sounding. I was mistaken at first and called them F-30's (wishful...

Just fixed the deck, had to take the faceplate off and poke around a little. It seems I was able to free things up and all works as normal now. Also adjusted the tape door latch screw because the door wouldn’t reliably stay shut. I believe it was set incorectaly at the factory 39 years ago! And...

Thanks for this, I had seen his last video but not the first two. In his first video at 10:35 he describes the tape drive belt position on the pully (Front or back). He said the counter belt is in front of the smaller drive belt but I believe this is incorrect based on other units I have seen...

Thanks! It has been hard to build a good quality collection as I am only 26 and buying my own home was my first priority. If I am considering any firearm I ensure that it is top quality and never been messed with. Also, I only buy things that I can get a great deal on. I have seen so many...

This may not be something anyone can help me diagnose online but I figured it was worth a shot, maybe someone else has run into this issue. I rescued a Kenwood KX-1030 and am cleaning it up for a friend of mine. When it came to me it had no intact belts left, 3 of them were completely missing...

Thanks! Good eyes there, yes especially I like the German designs from WWI and before. I am a hobbyist gunsmith as well, Just finished a "Baby Luger" if you can make it out. For me the best part of my collection is that everything I own is 100% functional and reliable, another Luger of mine...

Here is my humble collection.

I am feeling pretty confident that even though Apple states "Firmware update 7.8 adds AirPlay 2 support to 802.11n AirPort Express base stations" this update will only apply to the 2012 A1392 model. Thinking I got excited for nothing, what good does this do me if only 2 of my 8 devices receive...

The flat unit with the cord is an A1392. You need to read the fine print on the bottom of the "plug into wall" unit and it will either say A1264, A1088, or A1084. (A1264 is the newest). That said, my real question; does the model A1264 support the new 7.8 firmware? If nobody replies I will...

Can anyone come up with an actual list of supported airport express models for this update? "Firmware update 7.8 adds AirPlay 2 support to 802.11n AirPort Express base stations." On Wikipedia both the the A1264 (Wall Wart model) and the newer A1392 (The Apple TV looking one) are listed as...

Converted my 700 M and C to LED bulbs last night. The dimmer switch still works too!

Awesome! I graduated from KU myself three years ago. I'm always around!

I agree, that would be a cool comparison, bring them to Kansas City!

After many years of hunting I have finally been able to locate a recapped Kenwood 700M and 700C that I could afford. This past weekend I drove from KC to Michigan to pick this system up from an AK member who completely recapped the both units. The pre-amp is not in perfect condition...

Are these the binding posts you guys are running? https://www.parts-express.com/gold-dual-binding-post--091-335 I would LOVE to get rid of my stock ones but I am just learning how to solder. Can you show a photo of how you attach the leads to these posts inside the amp? How hard is this job...

I am not going this year due to a trip to buy an old Kenwood, but have gone to several events in years past. Nights at the blue room are always fun! My Dad happens to be really close with Charlie's step-daughter Kim, she usually comes and stays with my parents for the week. I haven't heard...

Last night a pair of D-7 and D-10 rack handles arrived and they have improved the looks of the 9100 considerably. Still looking for another set of D-7's so I can add the tuner back into the mix.

I didn’t include speaker photos because they are nothing special in my opinion, but here you go. The KA-9100 is driving two Klipsch F-30’s and a Klipsch 12HG 300W subwoofer. The KA-5500 runs my TV room setup, it’s driving two Pioneer SP-FS52’s and a Sony SA-W2500 100W 10-inch subwoofer. The...

I forgot to mention my favorite part of my collection, the Apple AirPort Express! I have every system connected to one so I can wireless stream music to one or many of them with my iPhone or Macs. Also, every amp is connected to a Z-Wave SmatThings outlet so they can be powered on/off remotely...

I have never posted here but really enjoy this page, the amount of knowledge here is unbelievable to say the least! Thank you all for the great resource you have created, It is an invaluable tool for a beginner like myself. I have been collecting 70’s receivers for a couple years now and...
