Thank you. I saw the $1800 sale (marked down from $2900), as well as the (Belgian?) sale for €3000. Having little experience with vintage stereo equipment, and not thinking of Kenwood as a high-end brand, I was surprised.
I’ll be speaking with my acquaintance soon and will test the unit out. I’ll of course try to open the case and check the caps. Maybe even give it a basic cleaning with some canned air and q-tips.
