Kenwood KT-6500 tuner, missing rubber feet

[kingcrab]

Hey folks:

I picked up a Kenwood integrated and tuner pair, KA-6100 and KT-6500 off of craigslist yesterday for a total of $45.00. Here are the issues:

KT-6500, cosmetically in very good condition and functions well, except the chasis is missing the 4 rubber feet. Any idea where and what kind to get?

KA-6100, when the power switch is flipped, it will power up, and the VU meters light up, but it doesn't click on and there's no output. Opening up the case I found there's fair amount of dust inside and the switches seem in need of DeOxit. Maybe a thorough cleaning will cure it?

Thank you guy for any input you can give.

At my local hardware store they sell rubber bumpers (for furniture, I guess).
4 pack for $1.89. They come in two colors, brown and black, predrilled to except the foot mounting screw. They brought the faceplates of my Sansui tuner and amp to 1/32" clearance.
They will work on Kenwoods, also.

I've made good use of these self adhesive felt pads from my local hardware store. Just peel off the backing and stick them where you need them. Very nice for the bottoms of bookshelf speakers.

Thanks guys for your recommendation. I'll hit the local hardware store tomorrow. By the way, I've found out that one of the fuses is blown in my KA-6100, so I'll get a replacement from Fry's tomorrow also. In the meantime I've given all the pots and switches a good cleaning with Deoxit. I'll report back with result after I put the new fuse.

Well, what do you know. Spent about $6 at Frys on a pack of 5 fuses, put one in, flipped the switch, voila! working like a charm. This turned out to be a GREAT deal after all.

The Kenny's are nice. Enjoy.
