KLH 15 Renovation

Just finished renovating this nice little system and thought you might like pics and info. Before I get any farther, if anyone has power specs for this unit, please post.
Other than the usual dirty pots and switches, a few bad caps, and one spectacularly blown power cap, it was in pretty good shape. I replaced the KLH unobtainium power plug with a direct, grommeted power cord like what is on my later-model KLH 20.
The Garrard needed a complete disassemble, clean, relube, and adjustment. As compared with my same-era Garrard Model A, this (admittedly cheaper) Garrard is simple but primitive.
One of the 3.75” “full-range” speakers was blown, but the mid from a KLH 12 (and others) was a direct replacement.
It obviously doesn’t have a lot of power at its 4 ohm output and definitely can’t drive my KLH 6’s, but is a great upgrade and education to my stepson’s Crosley. He likes the KLH. Gotta pass this hobby on.

Never saw a 15 before. !!, the suitcase model, 24, similar to what you're showing with different speakers and the 20 and 20+.
