Check out my new to me Harman Kardon A300 and T300X tuner. Not a major score but the amps works fairly well. Don't know about the tuner yet. These are true separates that are stacked securely with metal braces. The A300 has variable Stereo to Mono control and the Volume is called Loudness! Anyways, good tube fun for $25!

Congrats. It will be fun restoring those beauties from the past.

Cool video. Freakazoid on tubes is abusing the cat!
My set hums a little on startup but quickly settles down. I'm sure it could use a restore like that guy did. |

Sweet. Manuals may still be available on the H/K website. I have an A700 that had no online manual, and when I asked where I might find one they sent me a hard copy. Even apologised for a few stray pencil notes on the original.

Good question. The right way to do it is with a VARIAC. The unscientific way (my way) is to use a surge protector, crappy CDP, and crappy speakers. |

It should also be noted that dangerous voltages lurk in all tube gear, know what you're doing before repairing one. Even the experienced get caught out every once in a while (I could have sworn my left hand was in my pocket when my right hand touched the chassis with the screwdriver) -------------------- Main: Yamaha MX-800U, Marantz 2270 as a preamp, Thorens TD125MKII SME3009II Shure V15 IV, Teac V-8000S, Denon DN-790R, Fostex E-2, Panasonic DVD/CD, Martin Logan The Sequel, JBL L56 for a change
