    Kenwood Model 11

    Hello Karmanites, I was a part of this community quite awhile ago. When I started moving around a lot for work for I let go of most of my vintage equipment except a bare minimum. Now retired, I'm getting back into it. I can't believe how much the prices have increased on vintage (70s) gear...

    Project: Kenwood KA-3500 (Nate Dogg)

    Well - here goes another rebuild thread. In the last month or so, I succumbed to pressure applied from that other person living in my house. I listed a few of my pieces for sale locally on my wifey's face space marketplace. Needless to say, we didn't get much interest in the pieces listed...

    I'm a woodworker - not an audiophile

    Hi, I'm Scott, a 71 year old woodworker from Ohio. It's my grandson that is the audio guy. He has a Kenwood KR 6030 that he has refurbished electronically. And he has asked his dear old grampa to make a wood case for his receiver. It's a box! How hard could that be for a woodworker? Well...

    Kenwood KA-501 vs KA-405

    Hi, I'm building my first audio setup and I found both of these at a pretty good price (150€). Both work flawlessly but I can't decide which one to pick. I've read that they're pretty much the same but the 405 looks more complex inside which (maybe) is a better thing. I hope you can help me!

    Technics SA-303 Receiver Dial Lamps

    I acquired this beauty today, but all the dial lamps except two are burnt out. I see replacements for sale on the auction site. Has anyone replaced them before? They’re soldered to a board. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What silverface receiver did I have as a youth?

    TLDR: which big late 70s receiver's got perfectly cylindrical, not-as-long-as-Kenwood, toggle switch tips on the front panel, which extend deeply their slots without getting narrower, combined with a silver backing to the tuner dial? Hi all. New user, trying to figure out what my first receiver...

    Kenwood JL-420W

    Today I bring you a more rare set of Kenwoods, the JL-420W. they are rather modest looking, but through an old Kenwood KR-930B they sound surprisingly nice. I can't find too much info on them, so I figured I'd start a thread on them in case anyone else went looking! I can post the exact specs...

    Kenwood KR-4400 Documented

    While I was working on a basket case KR-4400 I noticed there didn't seem to be much info on the forum about this model. This thread is just meant to document the components I found inside my receiver. There weren't many variations from the service manual other than the main amp board...

    Kenwood KA-7100 -- less volume in right channel

    Hi all, So I have a Kenwood KA-7100 amp. I bought it fairly recently from a guy who swore that all the cleaning, etc, had been done. Just the other day I realized that the volume is starting to go (it's a bit less and perhaps slightly distorted) on the right channel. I am a total non-techie...

    KA-7002 Phono stage mystery

    Hello. I have been working on a nice KA-7002 that had a slight preamp power hum. I recapped the tone board and replaced the c458 transistors with KSC1815s. All was well, until I got super OCD and decided that the phono stage had too much background hiss when volume was turned up. I set my sights...

    Kenwood Eleven III Transistor Sub

    Have a Model Eleven III that needed a good cleaning and re-lamp and seemed to be working great on the bench. After getting it all put together letting it play for a few hours, loud distortion would start to develop intermittently regardless of source. I'm making the assumption that transistors...

    How to get the best out of these special Kenwood speakers

    Hi guys - I'm new to the forum. I've got these old (1960s?) speakers that were my grandfather's. They are both sentimentally valuable, and pretty awesome (I think?). I'm keen to get the absolute best out of them. They sound pretty great as they are, but in their 50+ year life, they've never...

    I currently run a Marantz 2245 with a cheap Audio Technica turntable. The plan all along was to update the table but for now I need to keep the cost down. I have looked at the vintage versus new debate and had almost decided that a new $500 table would probably suffice my needs for now. I...
