    G-9000 low volume output

    The power switch on my G-9000 was arcing causing the lights to flicker. I removed it and confirmed the contacts were burnt. I took the internal rockers that were in good shape from a Kenwood KA-7100 switch (same rockers) and reversed the orientation of the switch so in the on position it would...

    KA-8004 volume/balance pot problem

    I have a lovely KA-8004 but its 4 gang volume/balance pot is toast. The shaft had been damaged and it can work intermittently during movement or not at all depending on the position. I have searched everywhere for a replacement including placing an ad on bartertown but no luck. Here is my...

    Needed: Kenwood KA-8300 Volume Knob

    It is like looking for hens teeth. The same knob was used on KA-7300, KA-7500 and KA-8300. I have a KA-8300 which I prefer over the KA-9100 which I also have. You may not be happy with the KT-8300 knob. It is similar but significantly smaller. I have the KT-8300 coupled with the KA-8300 and the...

    Looking at it from the top view I just can't see any other attaching hardware for the cover. Sorry

    Accuphase : dismantling the panels ?

    I have never had this model but from what I can see on stock images there should be two screws on the back that release the top cover

    Kenwood KA-8300 recap list?

    I haven't used this list for awhile so don't expect all the part numbers will be current. Anyway, it should give you a starting point. Hope it helps.

    Kenwood KD 850 hinge replacement suggestions?

    Back again. I haven't looked at this issue for so long I almost forgot an even better solution. I obviously have too many turntables. I tried the hinges from my Kenwood KD-770D and they are a perfect match. Opens and closes perfectly with no issues. Might be a little harder to find than the PL-518.

    Kenwood KD 850 hinge replacement suggestions?

    I have two of these rare KD-850 with the same issue as you. The original hinges are of course almost unobtainable. I found through trial and error that hinges from a Pioneer PL-518 turntable will work. The top will open and stay at the proper angle and when closed is perfectly aligned. The only...

    Trying to revive KA 8300

    I purcased a ta-100w from pyramid audio for my Kenwood ka-9100. Easy replacement and it works perfectly.

    Kenwood ka9100 phono 1 channel only!

    I had the same problem as you. I tried everything including disassembling the source selector switch and polishing the contacts. Eventually tried refreshing all the solder joints and that solved the problem. Cold solder joint.

    Question to Kenwood KD-770D owners

    Update on the Kenwood. Finally decided to open it up and look at the tonearm mechanism. I found the problem was the tonearm lift rod. The old lubrication was not allowing it to come completely down. I disassembled the rod assembly, added new lubrication and reassembled. All is good now.

    Pioneer PL-L1000 auto return noise

    Upon further inspection I saw what appeared to be a screw being dragged by the tonearm assembly. The only way to get to it was to completely remove the tonearm. I could not figure out where the screw had come from. I contacted the previous owner and he replied that when his Dad bought the...

    Pioneer PL-L1000 auto return noise

    I just received a PL-L1000 and I have a question for any owners of the PL-L1000 about the arm movement when returning to the stop position. It returns correctly except that there is a noise, perhaps an activation of a mechanical switch as it nears the outer edge of the record. Is this normal or...

    Question to Kenwood KD-770D owners

    Thanks Jon. I was pretty sure there was an issue. I will take it apart and have a look at the mechanism. Funny that it plays from start to finish perfectly but won't let me manually cue a track near the end of the record. Other than that, what an awesome turntable.

    Question to Kenwood KD-770D owners

    I have a lovely KD-770D I acquired and although it sounds terrific there is one issue that doesn't stop it operating but it just sort of bothers me. When I raise the tonearm and move it manually across the record it comes to a stop at about the beginning of the last track. It is being stopped...

    Kenwood KD-770D anti-skate weight

    I picked up a Kenwood KD-770D in pretty good condition. However, I realized when I was setting it up that the anti-skate weight is missing. I tried Ebay and googling but no luck. The turntable seems to work fine without it and sounds good although I am sure it was in the turntable design for a...

    kr 6600 dial cord

    Other than the indicator being in the wrong position the dial cord should have no impact on fm reception. Is the tuning capacitor going full travel each way. Here is an image of the procedure for stringing the KR-6600. I actually have a KR-6600 as well.

    I'm falling in love with the Accuphase stuff

    I have the same set. My small knobs under the panel were also also very very stiff. Deoxit and patience is the answer. I replaced all the caps in the units and I no longer keep changing audio equipment. My favorite prior to Accuphase was my Kenwood Model 600 integrated amp which I also restored...

    Question on Marantz 250 rebuild

    Just about to recap my Marantz 250 amplifier. Other than somewhat weak right channel no other issues found. However, I have read all the service bulletins and they seem to apply for the most part to serial numbers after 6549. Mine is 4552. I would have thought that most changes would be applied...

    Diode replacement on Accuphase C-200 pre-amp

    Thanks. I will go with that. I already have some of the 1N4005. I have been following your posts that deal with restoration of the C-200 plus your list of the required parts. A great help. The diode in question was damaged by me. No fault of the unit. Expecting the last of my axial caps to...

    Diode replacement on Accuphase C-200 pre-amp

    Need some help on a diode replacement for my Accuphase C-200 pre-amp. It uses four 1BZ61 diodes on the fuse board and I have one that the insulation is broken on. I have done a google search on Audiokarma and the only mention I can find is someone asking about replacing them with high speed...

    Kenwood KD-750 DIN tonearm cable help

    Problem was solved thanks to the help of a stereo shop called the Vinyl adventure in England. I received the turntable, took a picture of the DIN connection and sent it to them. They confirmed that their DIN cable called the "Rebel" would do the job. It arrived a few days ago and works fine...
