I'll give you $1K for both. SOB!!
make sure tuner/aux1 switch is in mid position to get aux 2 or 3. There may be a bad contact, there, so flip the switch ten times up/down or so to rework the contacts.
If in need of service, go to a reputable tech only if afraid doing anything at it yourself. At least the preamp (I only have the preamp) is easy to work on for techs, but it may be time consuming.
Thanks for the photos. Might be hard to believe the story otherwise!
The 700s have been objects of lust here for quite some time.
In what part of the country did this major score happen?
I really need to visit a pawn shop some time...
Thanks. It's mind boggling to think how a pawnshop would sell these for $120/$110 each and how they would throw out the original boxes with manuals and factory test sheets (serial numbers on the box and factory test sheets match each of the units). I consider myself VERY lucky finding these when I did.I'm pretty sure this trumps my one owner L-09Ms for a grand story all to hell. Congratulations!
They obviously didn't know what the hell they had, and someone was hard up for money when they pawned them.Thanks.

On one of the boxes, it still had the pawn ticket taped to it. Someone pawned both units for $50 each and a harman kardon rabco st-7 turntable. I didn't get the turn table but i kinda wish I did cause it looked really nice and the only wanted $120 for it, it looked vintage too.They obviously didn't know what the hell they had, and someone was hard up for money when they pawned them.
Possibly the latter but the person who pawned it was from another city so who knows. In any case I was at the right place at the right time cause they had just put them out.$50/ea.??? Scorned wife, or stolen.
Yep, I'm betting they're hot as hell. Might want to look into it, wouldn't be fun getting arrested for receiving stolen goods.
I am always in that pawnshop talking to them and the past few times they haven't said anything but I will continue talking to them and see if anything comes up. I have my receipt for units.You'd better delete this thread if it's the latter. In any case, you're currently the envy of AK's Kenwood contingent.
A Good Will etc I could understand, but pawn shops make their living knowing this shit, smells fishy. Ask yourself this, "when was the last time you ever heard of someone getting something over on a pawn shop?", exactly, never. If you ever think you have, check your wallet.I am always in that pawnshop talking to them and the past few times they haven't said anything but I will continue talking to them and see if anything comes up.

Yup i agree, we shall see when I go back to that pawnshop this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.A Good Will etc I could understand, but pawn shops make their living knowing this shit, smells fishy.
I would check with the police, they may be looking for this stuff. First it's the right thing to do, what if it was your stuff that was stolen. Second, you'll be much happier if it's on the up and up and you know it with a clear conscience.
