I just finished restoring something similar with same transition from to-3 to to-3p - Sansui AU-X1. I have all 12 original to-3 but didn't want to risk using them. The sound this amp produces is ..... speechless
Young man..mad respect to guys like u..this is becoming A lost art.. I have a couple of brothers that are also really good at doing this stuff.. awesome video.. thank you for it.. keep up the good work...
Awesome work on all fronts, Connor! From the restoration itself, to the camerawork and insight you provided about the amps and process. Your best work to date, can't wait for more.
I have had many, and I mean many of these amplifiers... they are fantastic. Unfortunately, the MMII are the worst of the bunch given their defects.... but its great to see that you have come up with a solution for servicing and repairing them. This looks better than new. Over the years the MKI amps were the ones I held onto the longest because they did not suffer from these defects. I was fortunate enough to also own several L09M amplifiers which were built like tanks, but I eventually sold them as they did not perform well at low impedances. L07/09 are absolutely fantastic amps though, if only there were more qualified/skilled technicians out there capable of servicing them..... and enough people with fat enough wallets willing to pay. Really great work though, impressive!
Great restoration video. Very thorough overview of the restoration. It's great to see all the details involved. I like the hifi stand at the end. Very fine - very stylish.
Great video covering the LO7's. I rebuilt a pair of these a couple of months ago and mine did not have the black flag capacitors just had standard polystyrene types. They are an interesting design construction wise and I found them easy enough to work on. I did find some of the original electrolytic capacitors were actually starting to leak out around the pins (The LO7 preamp was quite bad in some areas due to these caps leaking not to mention that dam glue and this was loaded with blackflags) I love your TO3P modification thats so ingenious and looks very professional. I have I've been restoring vintage audio for years and a new sub to your channel. You do some amazing work and look forward to future videos. All the best! 👍
21:33 Couldn't the high speed TO3s be replaced with lower speed TO3s saving all that trouble? Was the high speed necessary to the circuit? Presumably, if speed was not needed, lower speed transistors might not go into high frequency oscillation in the first place, right?
Kenwood applied feedback well above the audible band. The high speed nature of these amps doesn’t only come from the high fT outputs, rather the circuit as a whole. Replacing high speed semiconductors comes with the possibility of hurting the performance of the amplifier and can even lead to other issues as well. Putting the amps back together with parts similar to what were used when they were designed is the way to go.
Nice work. I had a pair when they were relatively new, way back when. They did sound good, when they worked. I don't remember how many times I had to fix the POSs. I traded them in and good riddance. Don't worry, they won't let you down. They'll break again soon enough.
Just noticed the Monster Power HTS 360 power conditioner. I have one on my home theatre setup. Bought it back in 2009. Living in North Texas with our electrical storms it was a now brained.
I've been wanting to work on a pair of these myself so, I really appreciate seeing that you've gone through the process. It looks relatively straightforward but.. it's just so much work! Thanks for taking the time to document. I'd be curious to find out how much you paid for all the parts and such. If you had a bill of materials that would be amazing. Your friend is lucky guy.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and found it helpful! That’s why I make these videos. Parts cost for these was roughly $500 including the high end inputs and outputs that were retrofitted. I don’t have a parts list available, but the service manuals are readily available online in which you can find every part needed. Cheers!
19:11 So is this varnish thing found everywhere just left over flux? I always thought this was some sort of moisture-proofing varnish used in all old electronics! If it's flux, then must we remove it? and how? Once this is removed, is there something to protect bare copper tracks from corrosion (as in modern pcbs)? Or do we just have to cover them with solder (which is both laborious and very risky on old pcbs)?
The material on the back side of the PCB that covers the solder mask is flux. The flux attracts dirt and dust, and can become corrosive and conductive overtime with moisture. Added to the fact that it could mess with high impedance circuits, I always remove all flux from PCB’s.
@@PrimeHiFi I later realised while watching that these pcbs where already coated anyway, i.e. the copper tracks were not exposed to air. Pretty strange for a prestigious manufacturer to leave flux on their boards in their flagship component. I guess back when it was it made they had not had components with pcbs go bad yet as pcbs had been in use for only, what, two decades? I wonder whether this thing had been hand-soldered. I guess it was.
6:25 This is the most surpising thing I've learnt from this video. I never thought a restoration would result in polystyrenes being replaced by ceramics. Is it just the polystyrenes that are temperature sensitive, seeing that a lot of mylars are still left in there?
Yes, the “black flag” polystyrenes used in many of the high speed amplifiers in the 70’s and 80’s must be replaced to prevent oscillation. They are nasty and drift with age. See here: www.conradhoffman.com/BF_caps.htm
@@PrimeHiFi Thanks for the link! It's been some time since I last visited that site. I had forgotten about these. It seems one would provide a great service by cataloguing all those aging components (caps, resistors, semiconductors etc.) in one site. Professionals in the trade of restoring probably know them by heart but it would make a useful reference for hobbyists that unwittingly plug an old piece just acquired in the mains only to watch a puff of smoke be produced from it.
17:35 So the 4558 were left in? How come this wasn't upgraded but, say, the power cord was? What was the owner hoping to achieve by replacing the mains inlet with an IEC?
The 4558 is a sealed metal can MIL Spec opamp. It’s use in the regulated power supply would not benefit from any “upgrade”. The IEC replacement was the owners choice as the original power cords are cheap and flimsy.

In my minds eye this what I envision when I take my vintage electronics to be repaired and calibrated! But in my heart I feel some soldier monkey just sprayed deoxit in to the pots and cleaned up outside and charged me $300.00 and call it repaired! That type of repairs & replacements are worth every penny! Like a good mechanic they're what ever they charge? Plus a tip! Great sound! That's why I love the vintage stereo equipment! Thanks gonna play the music again! Funny I just bought a used Kenwood dual Cassette player w/auto reverse out a Goodwill bin for $3 or $4 plus some other junk I don't need! And played Cassettes today in both sides and played & sounded like a champ! I forget about the Kenwood quality in their vintage stereo equipment ?!
I have a pair of L-07M (first iteration), they are very good sounding amplifiers. I have a 3rd one that doesn't work, one of the screws on the top is gutted out and I can't unscrew the top. I have no idea what's wrong with it, but I have a feeling it's a bad relay.
Would you like to restore a Marantz 2325 reciever? Hey l know good work when l see it, and l must say it doesn't look cheap With the current supply chain issues any problem getting supplies?
Best hifi restoration channel on youtube By Far. Detailed explanations, well shot, and immaculate work station. Connor, how does one acquire the skills and expertisd to diagnose and repair these electronics? Are you an electrical engineer by background? Thanks
Thanks for the kind words Chris. I’m slowly trying my hand at making videos like this. I have some bugs to iron out, but judging by the feedback so far, I must be doing something right. I am not an electrical engineer, but I have been interested in electronics for as long as I can remember. I started working on my own equipment a few years ago and slowly started to take in work. I am an aerospace engineer / A&P full time and do this work on the side.
@@PrimeHiFi while not exactly the same, I collect antique books, some centuries old, and i always bring them in to this library that does book conservation. I'm always amazed at how amazing the books turn out after conservation. This has a similar feel to it. You're definitely right. Good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good.
Very nice work and it is great to see a fully restored set. I owned the whole LO7 set back in the day and used to sell them. The amps where fantastic sounding but they tended to run hot, especially the LO5s . We had very high failure rates and durability issues but boy did they sound good. In this series the amps were fantastic , the pre amp middle of the road, and the turntable was without question fabulous and I think the best of the series. PS Do you have a repair shop?
Thanks for the kind comment! Yes! I’m well aware of the stability issues of these amps. The issues mostly stem from the factory QC and a select few components that end up drifting overtime, killing the amplifiers. It’s a shame, as most of the series suffered a terrible fate because of it. I run a small HiFi equipment lab on the side, yes!
AMAZING work my friend excellent note to detail which is hard to find nowadays. I’ve got a klipsh synergy 10 subwoofer and I blew the fuse on it unfortunately I had lost the fuse and the cap that screws on it I guess l should I try contacting Klipsch any thoughts ? Thanks

I believe that it is doing crazy things to your system because of the DC coupled design with no caps in the signal path. I have a KA-7100 DC integrated with 60 wpc. They like to call it mid-fi but it does things I never heard any amp do at multiples times its price. I never believed or understood the concept or "pace" until I heard this amp. The mixing of the original recording of take 5 by Dave Brubeck made no sense until I heard it through the 7100. Would love to hear these amps. You did a great job. Whatever it cost, (assuming not gouging) it is worth it. Would love to own a pair myself.
