I just found a kenwood KA-2000 in the dumpster at my apartment and I rescued it just before the rain and I have to say at only 13WPC it sounds better than my "New" Onkyo receiver (For Stereo Music that is since it is not a Surround receiver). The only ting that was wrong with it was it was missing the speaker terminal block there was just two wires sticking out of the back (Blue and a yellow and I figured out that the Chassis was the audio ground
I will be set now only if I could find a proper speaker block as the one I got from R$ fits but is not long enough to fully screw down to both screws. I got it working for now just need to clean the dials (With what?) because I get crackling when I move then and the switches are doing the same thing.
Also I hope I rewired the speaker plate right please tell me if I am wrong
Yellow = right
Blue = Left
I used a short piece of 18 AWG jumper wire to jump the two Negative termininals to a point on the chassis (I just crimped a ring terminal to the wire and then when I put the cover on. (I put it through that screw on the inside of the chassis)
Oh and if anyone has any old audio equipment be very and I emphasize VERY careful when messing around the inside
epically while plugged in to a live outlet (No Polarized plug) and I think there is a way the chassis could become
electrically hot Don't know how though but I do remember that old TV's had what was called a hot chassis I don't know if Vintage amps are the same way
Two questions OK Three
1. why do the two channels share the same audio ground?
2. How do I fix the crackling/poping when I turn the volume/Bass knobs
3. How to I fix the stereo/Mono Switch I can tap the switch and I hear crackling and one side gets louder (Right
now I have it set to stereo and I have it so it is working ok for now but if I move it at all it will do that again)
Thanks for reading my post and thanks in advance for any reply's
