Kenwood Basic M2A Recap

[CohibaJoe]

Chohpa Joe, I got excited when you mentioned working on a cap list so I took the cover off one of my amps and it sat on the bench. I got board so I figured I would do something with those speaker connectors. I added 5 way binding posts and now I can use the really good wires I make.

Nice!!!!! Yeh...I do not like the Twist Speaker connectors that are used.

OK...You twisted my arm...I am working on a Luxman L-100U (have thread) and going to replace the Push Tab's with a Nice Set of Speaker Connectors.
I will pickup a Set for the Kenwood and will Post the update.

I have a Mouser Cap List I need to go over 1st...Need to make sure I have not added to this list as sometimes I do. Give me a few day's.

Hello, all "kenny" modders and lovers. I want recap my M2 (not A). But there is no partlist at service manual as usualy at last pages. DRM kit i can't order because no international shipping yet. Anybody can help with partlist? No registration at hifiengine, my account was deleted don't know why. No registration alowed too. Service manuals was downloaded early for my kenny's basic amps. Don't want disasemble it for making mouser order. A little bit stupid situation.

you must get the service manual from hifiengine that copy has the parts list you are looking for your account was deleted maybe you have or tried to make more than one account with them that I believe is frowned upon but if you talk to them they seem reasonable and I would hope you could work it out with them
