A KA-9100.
Seems to work great and all, except at low volume. Then the right side doesn't work, kind of fades in and out. When you crank the volume up for a while then it's ok. Seems to be a common thing in old amps? My Sony TA-4A does the same thing. You have to warm it up for a while, then it balances out.
I guess it needs a good deoxit? I tried using another kind of contact cleaner which has helped a bit. I found deoxit gold, so I bought that but I don't have the D5 yet. Another store has that. I believe I use the D5 first, then give it the gold?
