    Can anyone identify this tonearm?

    It's on a Kenwood KD 500 and looks to have a Grace cartridge. Is it a Grace tonearm? Thanks

    Kenwood KA-3500 loose ground wire?

    I trash picked a ka-3500 with several issues-- but first--there are three black wires attached to pin 3 on the power amp board: one runs to pin 21 on the large preamp board, one runs to pin 10 on the main amp board, and where does the third go? It is long, and I assume goes to the back right of...

    New Project on the bench Kenwood KA-5700 Amp

    I normally work on Marantz gear but I got a good deal on this Kenwood amp and decided to have some fun. Overall, it was clean but dusty with the normal gunk on the controls. No burned parts and it did work but weakly when I gave it a trial run. When I pulled the filter caps out 6800uf at 42...

    ka-7100 problem

    Hello some month ago i get an broken Kenwood KA-7100 from a friend. The first thing I found was that one fuse blows because of a metal piece on the chassis that was short to the circuit board. When i wiped out the piece of metal the fuse works again but I do not get any sound from it. I have...

    Luckybaer's Current Set-Up

    Each piece in the system has a story to tell... My turntable is a Kenwood KD-2070 purchased used for about $35 on eBay nearly a decade ago. Only recently did I decide to "get back into" vinyl, so it has been seeing a lot of work. I currently have it loaded with an Audio-Technica VM750SH...

    2070 Turntable near miss

    So I bought a 2070 turn table off eBay for a reasonable price. It was complete down to a stylus and cartridge and the cover was not smashed. I got, unboxed it and hooked it up for a test. It played well enough other than an AC hum due to a bad cap in the power supply. I opened up the unit but...

    Where would AKers put the value of this TT in 1) excellent operational condition, 2) in fair to good cosmetic condition; with Grado Black cartridge; and missing its dust cover?

    Kenwood KX-4520 cassette deck - Need Help

    Just picked up a Kenwood KX-4520 cassette deck. It turns on, fast forwards and rewinds great. However, it doesn't PLAY (grrrrrrr). When I press play, it tries to advance, but then stops/gives up trying. I read up online that it is most likely that the belts need to be replaced. I've never...

    First time using a vintage tuner - Kenwood KT-5300 - issues?

    Hi Everyone, I've had a KT-5300 on my shelf for about a year, and I thought that I wasn't getting signal because I didn't have an external antenna. I purchased a wire antenna and it made no significant difference. There is maybe one or two channels on FM that I get reasonable signal from (still...

I have had the turntable for about 4 years now and recently, had to replace the stylus because the one that was on it, an Empire SLM444, had broken. Instead of...

    Having fun with some receivers

    Just thought I would share a couple of pictures of some receivers I am cleaning up. New lighting in the HK 330c and the KR-7600. The RS STA-100 and the SX-525 just a good cleaning. Have not started on the model eleven II yet. Lots of fun.

    Kenwood 500 Volume Pot Repair?

    Hi folks, I recently purchased a Kenwood 500 off of ebay. The previous owner noted that the volume pot was not functioning properly and that his tech had given up on trying to repair it. I am assuming that I cannot source an original version or replace it, so I was wondering if anyone thinks...

    Kenwood KSQ-400 and KA-8006/The Quadrophonic Way - How to connect

    Hi guys, I've bought sometime ago a minty KA-8006 and I'm enjoying it a lot. At the same time I've become interested in old quad (non CD4) stuff, so I got me a KSQ-400 Decoder/Amp (first I tried a beautiful Pioneer preamp, but sadly it didn't work and had to return it) While buying the KA-8006...

    Kenwood KR-7200 repair problem

    I got a free KR-7200 with a scratchy, intermittent right channel and some hiss. I replaced nearly all electrolytic capacitors in the entire unit (pretty much all of them were leaking). I cleaned the relay and the contact pins on the main amp board, and I replaced all the amp resistors (Rq1-4). I...

    Kenwood 700M - replace filter caps?

    Hi, I recapped a 700M a few years ago. I left the original power supply filter caps in- the big ones. I've sometimes wondered if I should spend the money to replace them, and just to complete the job. Looking at $100 minimum, probably. If the current ones seem to work fine, though they're...
