    Kenwood KA-3500 worthy of fixing?????

    I have one in my possession that needs a new power supply and maybe a recap. I see they dont have any wild value to them but I'm curious as to what it sounds like in working condition. Is it worth the time and money to fix?

    Kenwood KR-5030 Receiver, issue with tone knob, any suggestions?

    I have an old Kenwood KR-5030 Receiver, older silver faced, and the Bass knob only affects one channel. Could this be the potentiometer, or something on the PCB. I have cleaned all the pots, there is no scratching sounds, just the bass only affects one channel, and the other channel sits at...

    Brooklyn, NY - Kenwood L-07M Pair with boxes.

    Filthy and on that auction site, but unwilling to ship. Someone local might be able to get a sweet score there. I say this because the seller is obviously not motivated to maximize their profit at all. Not mine, no affiliation. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303300612627

    Best Vintage Integrated Amplifier Recommendations?

    Hello all, my current daily driver is a Hitachi SR 603 (30wpc) receiver which I like a lot because of the late 70s clean, accurate, and crisp sound. Though 30wpc is plenty for my Dynacos, I've been looking to upgrade to a more powerful integrated amplifier as I plan to purchase some floor...

    Differences between a Kenwood KD-2055 and a KD-3055?

    I’ve had three or four KD-2055s and I’m getting back a KD-3055 that I dropped off at my techs, tomorrow. It got me to thinking, what are the differences between the two? They both have the ARCB plinth, they are both automatic, and they are both belt drives. They also use the same dust cover...

    Kenwood KR-2090, No Power

    So picked up a Kenwood KR-2090 in really nice shape (except for no power) for $20 today in hopes that I can use it for my desk receiver in my office. I was hoping that it was the thermal fuse issue but continuity on the primary is in at 10.5 Ohms. So I don't think I got lucky on that front...

    Kenwood KA-770D No Left Channel

    Recently picked up a KA-770D for $20 on my local Craigslist. I hooked it up and found the left channel (both A and B speaker settings) is virtually silent. (If I listen closely, I can hear it very softly). The sound out of the right channel sounds normal/good. Here's what I've ruled out so far...

    Working on a non-working Kenwood KA-4070 Need a sub for 2SA640E Semiconductor

    Correction. It's a Kenwood KR-4070. I don't know how to edit the title!! Q1-Q4 semiconductors in the power amp section, are supposed to be either 2SA640E or F or 2SA841 (GR or BL) according to the Kenwood repair manual and specs. The previous owner has installed PN4249 even though the leg...

    Kenwood KR-4070 Receiver - LOUD "Motorboating" sound in right channel

    The volume control has no effect on this. It is a loud static sound coming from the right channel only. I've cleaned the controls with De-Oxit and this isn't acting like that in my experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Kenwood KA-1000 in the house!

    I posted a thread on Dollars and Sense last week, because someone contacted me with a Kenwood KA-1000 for sale. I was on the fence, and was looking for reasons not to buy it. There were a few. Couldn’t test it out; Rare item with innovative technology; No idea of value. There was one for sale...

    Considering buying a Kenwood KA-1000 integrated amp

    Someone contacted me about a Kenwood KA-1000 amplifier they have. So I’ve been researching it. I’m on the fence right now. It seems I would have to make a set of cables for the Sigma drive, which isn’t any real problem. However the build quality and the problem of getting it fixed if there are...

    Kenwood KA-770D

    1988 Kenwood KA-770D. I've talked to the poster and she wants $30-40 for it. Assuming it's in working condition, is this a fair price? https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/d/minneapolis-vintage-1988-kenwood-ka/6925524028.html

    New Kenwood L-06M's

    Hey all! I have been a long time user and lover of a set of L-07M monoblocks, and more recently, a L-07C preamp. The L-07M's have been my daily drivers for around 2 years now. I have put them up against every other amplifier I have had the chance to, and they always seem to come out on top...

    Kenwood KD-4100R / Sansui FR-5080S

    I found both of these turntables being offered for $150. Both seem to be in good shape. Any thoughts on which if either is the better pick-up? Thanks!

    help with Kenwood KA-72B Amp

    I just acquired a Kenwood KA-72B and for the life of me, can't find an owners manual...plenty of service manuals available. This probably sounds stupid, but I have never seen speaker terminals like these. Also, I have a Yamaha pre-amp I'd like to run with this...need help hooking this thing up.

    Kenwood KA880D channel dropouts

    Hi everyone. I am trying to restore an old 80's Kenwood amp. Model KA880D. It has issues with random loss of signal from either the left or right channel, moments where the volume suddenly drops and goes distorted. I was able to fix lets's say 50% of the drop outs, by resoldering the volume...

    Kenwood KR-3130 Replacement Transistor

    I'm in the process of my first vintage audio restoration - a Kenwood KR-3130 that was given to me by my dad. The right channel didn't have any sound initially which I traced down to a bad Q16 transistor (2SA565). I switched this one with the left channel (Q15) and now the right channel works...

    Kenwood 700M : common ground?

    Hi folks, I have a Kenwood 700M amplifier and I am not sure if it has a "common ground" or not. I am asking because I also have a Koss ESP-9 electrostatic headphone set that requires tapping into the speaker outputs on the 700M to drive them. I have read (and yet don't fully understand) that...
