I bought a Kenwood KR-8010 today for a good price. It's in good shape but was filthy inside. I cleaned it up quite a bit but it still needs some more attention. It sounds good but could use some more bass. The FM de-emphasis was set wrong but that was an easy fix.
The DC-offset checked out pretty good. +16.9 mV on the left and -3.7 on the right. The only problem is when I turn it off it pops after a couple seconds. The first time I saw a spark in the back and center of the unit. I didn't have time to really check it out but is there a relay back there that could be dirty?
Another problem is that somebody took the cover off and didn't replace most of the screws. It sure didn't look like they worked on it as dirty as it was. It's missing 3 of the bigger screws on the side and all of the smaller screws on the top. Does anybody know where I can get some of the screws? They don't have to be 100% correct but I want them to be black and fit.
It also has 3 missing feet. Do any other Kenwood feet fit?
Thanks,
Danny
