I purchased a nice original owner Kenny KR9600 about a month ago. Plays beautifully and is in outstanding cosmetic condition ( I have no way of checking the components other than it sure does play nice). Based on the great adivce here, I opened her up (according to owner, he never opened and cleaned) and sprayed all the pots, knobs and almost everything I could with DEOXIT. Put it back together and noticed that the the left speaker would get "static" and appear to be losing power. Actually had these symptoms prior to cleaning. I noticed that there was not an orifice for spraying cleaner into the right/left speaker pot. So, I got brave and took the bottom cover off and drilled two small holes, two lobes for the L/R pot. I used a 1/16 drill bit, gently opended two holes (very soft metal). Sprayed cleaner into them and worked the dials back and forth about 20 times. I am happy to announce, it fixed the problem. My 9600 is humming away and the left channel does not break up anymore, yaahhhooo!!!!. Felt good fixing a basic problem and getting it fixed without taking it to a shop. The info I gathered from this great site, led me to try and fix myself. Thought I'd share this for those have problems with a sealed "pot" hope it helps........
