Kenwood KA-7002 owners?

[RuSsMaN]

Anyone have the KA-7002 Integrated? I need to ask an owner a specific question.

Cheers,
Russ

Nope....see 'em on the 'Bay from time to time.

Think the 'Q' could only be answered by another owner?

 

[RuSsMaN]

Yeah, I think only someone that owns and uses one could help me out.

Sounds weird, it will make sense once an owner comes forward (if there is one).

Kenwood KA-7002

Here's my KA7002 with a KT7001. What's the question?

 

[RuSsMaN]

My question is, would you like an owners manual, schematic, warranty card, and large fold-out product brochure (the entire line of products for that year) - all original?

I found a folder with all of the above in it, in the bottom of a box of misc wire while I was cleaning out the garage last weekend. I was hoping to find an owner/user, to get this stuff where it belongs.

Pm me your addy (assuming you want that stuff), and I'll get it out to you.

Cheers,
Russ

It's been quite a while since you posted your offer and I'm new to the site. But nothing ventured - nothing gained. If you have any idea as to who took you up on your offer, I would appreciate their name and contact information if you thought that would be appropriate.

Sorry beowulf, but the person in question has not been on Audiokarma for 7 years. If you need info on your amp, you could make an account on hifiengine and download information there.

I have a 7002, with matching tuner. Just "restored" it last year...replaced electrolytics and tantalums, along with transistors known to be problematic with age, and quite a bit of other work. Nice amp for its era, and beautifully built. Not fun to work on!

What about the 7002 makes it difficult to work on? Difficult access? Wire wraps? Poor or incorrect schematic or service manual? Other?

I have worked on other Kenwoods but none from this series. I think the 7002 and 5002 are good looking amps.

Some of the boards are difficult to access. All in all, not terrible, but more difficult than many.

I'll award Beowulf the AK Optimist of 2019 award for hoping to continue a 14 year old thread.

Appreciate the reply. I'll try HiFiEngine. A 14 year old post is a bit of a reach and I do appreciate your help.

Must admit this was a bit of a reach plus some and being a contender for the AK Optimist of 2019 is not going to be a high point for the year. Did get suggestion for a follow up which is much appreciated.

@hopjohn is on a mission to acquire and restore every vintage KA made (as far as I can tell). I'd bet he knows.
