Suggestions on who could update and or repair a 1975 Kenwood KR 2600 receiver...

$72. usd, works, you have the missing knobs.

you could confirm things with seller, make offer, get one going yourself, or take both units to audio classics so they would have spare parts from one to the other!

note: same seller, 110 CAD, that listing mentions ’needs some lights’. same unit?

this one is missing the wood side covers

It probably just needs some electrolytic capacitors changed. Depending on how many are replaced and what grade is used, the parts could be around $75 to $100. I work on older equipment a lot, best wishes.

I can.

Happy Listening.

In NY, Audio Classics, but they really focus on McIntosh. I'll give you another suggestion- in Orange County, NY- Hudson Valley Hifi. They love working on vintage gear. They have done work for me on ancient McIntosh and Marantz gear- stuff older than your Kenwood. I've been very satisfied.
