"WORLD AC POWER"
MIJ

for sale

 We have completely gone through this unit cleaning everything including all switches, controls and contacts for quiet, positive operation.  We also aligned the tuner front-end for optimum AM & FM performance as older internal tuner components have always drifted on vintage gear over the years.
All dial, all meter, most function indicator and stereo indicator lamps replaced with new units for years of trouble-free service. All inputs tested, including both phonos, and both amplifiers produces clean and even sine waves into static 8 & 4 ohm loads! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! All functions test fine. The Walnut wood grain, vinyl wrapped in good condition with minor wear. Following restoration procedures, the unit was operated continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 72 hours.
 
 
On our test bench, both amplifiers
each produced 25 volts per channel for a VERY STRONG AND PUNCHY sounding 78 watts per channel at 8 ohms & 19 volts per channel for 90 watts per channel at 4 ohms via discrete, TO-3 metal cased outputs. (Sanken 2x  25A746 & 2x  25C 1115)

This thing is incredible looking and sounding! Again, we have completely gone through it cleaning all switches, contacts, pots and controls. Face plate, window and knobs are in perfect cosmetic condition. The Walnut grain, vinyl wrap case shows well with minor normal scuffs. Looks VERY impressive and sounds great!

We have completely gone through this unit cleaning everything including all switches, controls and contacts. All internal control pots and switches are super quality. All dial lamps replaced for years of trouble free service.
We also aligned the tuner front-end for optimum AM & FM performance as older internal tuner components have always drifted on vintage gear over the years. Couple of issues with this unit. The AM stick antenna bracket has failed and the volume knob has some scuffing. Their weak point was the power switch part the designers chose. Most have developed main power contact issues and this one is no exception. There are two types of 2300 power switch. Those that have failed and those that will soon fail. This one has already had the power part of the switch bypassed and an auxiliary power switch installed in the port side panel. The protection / safe LED in the power switch button still functions. All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! All functions test fine.

It's dead silent! All functions test fine. Following restoration procedures, the unit was ran continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 48 hours.

 
  
On our test bench, both this unit's amplifiers produced a strong 18.8 volts per channel @ 8 ohms for 44 watts and 15 volts @ 4 ohms for 56 watts per channel via discrete, TO-3, metal cased outputs with 1 kHz input. (4x Hitachi 2SC1030)

 We have completely gone through this unit cleaning everything including all switches, controls and contacts. Quad "Joystick" cleaned and lubed with new silicone. We also aligned the tuner for optimum AM & FM performance as older internal tuner components have always drifted on vintage gear over the years. All dial, meter & "Stereo" indicator lamps replaced with new units for years of trouble-free service.
All inputs tested, and both amplifiers produces clean and even sine waves into static 8 & 4 ohm loads! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! All functions test fine. Following restoration procedures, the unit was ran continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 48 hours.
 
On our test bench, the internal amplifiers produced 7.5 volts per channel for 7 watts per channel at 8 ohms on both the front and rear amps, and 6.5 volts at 4 ohms for 10 watts per channel via discrete output devices at 1khz. (Sanyo 4x D325E  & 4x B511E)

We have completely gone through this cleaning inside and out including all contacts, switches and controls. AM & FM tuner re-aligned for optimum performance. All inputs tested and both side produces clean and even sine waves into static 8 & 4 ohm loads! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! All functions test fine. The only issue is that one of the speaker clips has a bit of difficulty "seating", but will when manipulated correctly work fine. Following restoration procedures, the unit was ran continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a load with "Loudness" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 48 hours.
 

  
While this unit was originally rated at 60 wpc, on
our test bench, this unit's amplifiers produced a strong 26 volts per channel @ 8 ohms for 84 watts and 19 volts @ 4 ohms for 90 watts per channel via discrete outputs with 1 kHz input. (2x  2SA1075 & 2X 2SC2525 output transistors. Same as Pioneer SX-3700)

Nice "High-Tech" looking silver-face Kenwood KR-750 receiver. Combines the classic silver-face cosmetics and analog tuner digital tuning style display. Due to the inherent (Servo controlled) design of the tuner on this series, it is not recommended for serious critical tuning use. For everyday and not distance / critical tuning it is a fine unit and great for connecting your other components to.
Features including:

 
 - Servo controlled, analog tuning with "slide-rule" scale and additional Fluorescent Digital station readout.
- Auto-Tuning "Lock-In" for tuning servo
- IF Narrow / Wide selector for tuning
- Mechanical station "reminders"

 - Mono / Stereo selector
 - 3-Segment, LED FM signal strength meter 
 - Separate Bass and Treble utilizing super quality de-tented tone controls
 - Hi filter for reducing the 19kHz pilot tone in FM and tape hiss / electronic hiss
& noise and record static
 - Built-in Subsonic Filter to eliminate excess rumble from sources such as turntables
 - Dual Tape monitors (Tape Monitors can be used with Video / CD / DVD / VCR / DAT / iPod / MP3 / XM / SIRUS etc. and Dubbing can be used with CDR (CD recorders) units)
 - Loudness selector
 - 12 segment divergent power meters
 - 2-AC outlets on rear panel (1 switched 1 un-switched) with a total capacity of 250 watts.

 
 
Again, as stated before, we have completely gone through this unit cleaning, refurbishing and testing all. As mentioned the only cosmetic issue is the balance knob cap. Unit still looks great!
