Hi Johnss, the unit is fully functional currently, I suppose I got lucky, I'm wanting to high end this unit, the tuner is incredible, do you know anyone that can work on these?
Kenwood KR-9600
I have been buying legendary vintage audio for the last 9 month's, I came across this kenwood kr-9600, I named it Dino, big, powerful, and old, To my astonishment, it is in mint condition, everything works except the power switch is stuck on, to say the least, I do not believe I've ever seen a tuner this good, with a piece of two inche wire antenna this this picks up endless stations from abroad, also, this Dino is a whopping 160 watts RMS per channel, I've studied everything about this unit, I know exactly what I want to do to it, from Etna simic two, nichicon kz and fg capacitors to modification's, my plan is to recap all 91 capacitor's, put a relay with fuse on the power switch after it has the carbon cleaned out from in rush current, change the op amp out on the tuner Board for audiophile grade new one for better sound , change out three resistors to aluminum finned new one's on the power Board, the original one's are underrated and get to hot from factory, etc..., I need to find someone that know's this kenwood kr-9600 inside and out, that has reworked one of these, competent, to do all this work, please help, thankyou audiogon community.
