Thank you. I had a KA 5002 from 1976-1979 . I used it to D.J. back in the day as well as for my home system with the matching tuner. <br>It still has the best quality knobs of any make or unit ever produced. It was stolen out of my van one night along with two turntables.<br>I replaced it with a new more powerful KR 8010. But the 5002 started my lifelong love for the vintage Kenwood equipment.

These era of Kenwood equipment show their lineage to transition early Accuphase- I own love and enjoy the KA 7002

Sometimes you just have to wonder if this equipment knows it's being saved for another life and just lets it out. These were fantastic sounding little amps, then and now. Thanks for your time posting this!

I don't see anything at first except 50+ years of dust all over everything. Lol! My two best pieces of restoration equipment are an air compressor and a shop vacuum. Cool video! I'm glad I'm not the only one who nerds out on vintage equipment. My niche is vintage guitar and bass equipment. I use Hakko too. Liked and subscribed!

Great video. I don’t plan on rebuilding any of these but you are a great teacher and the camera shots are amazing. After seeing the work involved , I will pay the extra for a refurbished unit.

Just finished watching this video again,,, while playing my KA-6000 (MADE IN 1969-70) which is built alot like this Amp<br> And is still kicking and strong, and low noise floor.. Visually its flawless , and inside the unit it looks orig... Not bad for 52 years old... Something special about the sound after its been up and running 30 mins... I also been playing a Sansui 4000 receiver i picked up,,, and has a similar sound,. At least to my ears..

Fantastic detailed production. Really well done!<br>Working on this vintage stuff is so rewarding, and the results are worth it. You end up with much higher quality gear than the junk that is being produced today. I;d also argue the sonics are better.
