Restoration stereo integrated amplifier KENWOOD / Rehabilitate step by step 

Funny story. I lived in a small mountain town and someone posted an ad looking to get an older Kenwood integrated amp from the 70's repaired. I like debugging so I got in touch. Was able to find a schematic online and so I dove in. Found a couple of bad parts, a zener and a transistor. $12 total in parts. I had told the owner I didn't want any payment other than parts cost. He was so happy to have his old unit working he insisted on giving me $50. The check bounced, and I got a bad check charge from my bank. No good deed goes unpunished.

I am glad to see a still full of life audio gear brought back to life instead of going back to the landfill . Nice !

Wow. He got a topographic memory. I already loss track of the screws and parts. Great job !!!

You, SIR, are an absolute genius!! Watching you work is amazing! Repairing/restoring/rebuilding speakers is fantastic but this is just astounding!! Every time you restore or repair an item you reduce waste in this wasteful world of ours. In your videos you don't even edit any slight error you might make, you just correct it. I hope you make a really good living out of this because you deserve it. If you were to produce detailed instructional videos of your work I think there are people worldwide who would happily pay for them. Keep up the amazing work and I wish you all the best :)

That's awesome. I love to see people salvage and fix things. I'd love to have an old piece like that. Would be a throwback to when I was in my younger years.

mantap👍

Что он там измерял мультиметром без схемы? Не иначе сам инженер-разработчик KENWOOD ремонт производит. На память все номиналы знает. Из правдоподобного только работа кисточкой.

Good job on the restoration, however I would not paint the big heatsink it's made of aluminum.

Impressive work. You really got that front facade looking new again as well. Will you be recreating the jack labels on the back at some point to make it easier to know what is what? 🙂

Perfeito.
