Kenwood Basic M1 Power Amplifier. Rare!

Description: Selling a freshly refurbished Kenwood Basic M1 amp with lots of clean power to drive any classic hi-fi speakers. (Photos 1-to-3) Also for sale in another listing, is an extremely hard-to-source American-made, built like a tank packed with formidable wattage, the A.M.P 8000 power amp, it's so awesome you have to say the name twice! (photos 4-to-8, $999). Countless work-hours in stretched of many days spent on this restoration project, including meticulous detailing inside & out, every crevice, every lines of every knobs & dials, lubrication of all electronic components to ensure static free signal flow. It's all you need for capturing that missing body of warmth analog sound character unattainable by the ubiquitous ones and zeros counterpart. One of my personal project given a 20-point tune-up, buffed and detailed clean every crevice every line to free from dusts. Furthermore, lubrication and deoxit all knobs & controls, including many relevant connections where necessarily important to ensure proper contact, static free and smooth operation with even some retouching involved in the refurbishing process to arrive in this rejuvenated state of condition. Bench tested and passed with flying colors in good bill-of-health ready to put in service once again by the new end-user.I'm a passionate audio engineer, an electronic hobbyist and purveyor of all things uniquely analog. I have restored, modified & worked on many vintage gears and some of the newer ones as well for my own personal hi-fi & pro collection. At times, I have literally spent up to 80 hours on-end just for one project alone and I don't get paid by the hour either. The kind of work I do reflects the quality end result of each particular item I execute...so buy with confidence even just for the time & work invested in this amazing machine is surely justify its worth.So don't deny yourself of the opportunity to own this ultra-rare 80's transistorized Classic to integrate in your existing system or simply the ultimate conversational display piece in your audio gallery with a few colleagues & contemporaries over a beer exchanging anecdotes and comparing "biases", "total harmonic distortions", "signal-to-noise-ratio" or maybe reminiscing about "the day when analog ruled the world". Hey, perhaps the epoch of analog discovery is in full circle, yet again..just a wishful thought but who's to say? May I interest you perhaps in an equally awesome breed of amp designed for reinforcement. Available for sale is yet a true heavy duty, robust Bogen HTA-250a amp in spectacular never used condition. ($950, see photos 9-to-12)They don't make them like they use to.The Bogen HTA-250 has seized in production and becoming a rare commodity so grab it while it lasts!Shipping and handling may vary on location. Like any other vintage electronics, may show their aesthetic wisdom of some inconspicuous or obvious wear due to age. Post Script:Ideal for serious incurable collector of all things analog, unique and in short supply with intent to build a showroom, I would consider to sell to the eligible buyer, a one in a life time find of some of the rarest extremely sought after cornucopia of Vintage, DJ, A/V and Pro gears in a single Collection anywhere. Exceeding 3 decades of tracking down and literally thousands of man hours invested in refurbishing, restoring, repairing these amazing electronic wonders to accumulate such magnificent concentration of historical analog importance you've ever seen! Some are new, used and few are part of my on going passion in what I do. Nonetheless, all has given equal meticulous attention and care to arrive in the integrity they once were and will be hard pressed not to admire aesthetically. I baby all my gears more than anyone I know :-)) and pictures don't do justice but reflect what you see.There simply is too much to itemize at once as I continue to build up the inventory list and pertinent details of what's included in the sale, item condition that will be revised as it becomes available and selling price will be adjusted accordingly.
