Electronics repair (older kenwood amp)

Hi all I have an older Kenwood amp that is in need of repair, any leads?

How old?

Look for Dr Dan on craigslist.

If you can't find him, I might have his number around here somewhere.

70s? I also have a Pioneer sx-727 that I would like repaired...

I found Dr Dan, I think Ill take both to him when I go to Denver next week.

Looking to get some work done on a ‘77 Yamaha pre amp. Have to go find him.

I do a lot of Yamaha stuff, but I've been backed up a little on my own gear.

Dr. Dan is gooder than I am, but I'm cheaper, often free and just charging for parts for forum pals.

What model?

What's the issue?

P.S. There's a specific Yamaha forum over there on AK, easy to find me, same handle. I don't spend too much time on it these days, but still cruise through a couple times a week.

Man, that's an old thread. But as you can see Dr Dan comes recommended.

That said, I haven't talked to him in a few years. There used to be some local GTG for the local AK'ers. In fact, that's how I met a gun buddy that's also an (infrequent) member here.

Here is my thread....

Yamaha CA-810

Picked it up on Ebay a few years back. Had a buzzing noise, so cleaned everything with electronics cleaner. Noise went away.

The amp is set up with a Mac Mini run through a DAC to the amp. The sub woofer is plugged in to one side of the "pre out-main in". I'm getting a "revolving" static sound that seems to build when everything is on. If I unplug the amp the noise goes away for a while. If I unplug the sub the noise is diminished (same thing if I restart the Mac Mini). I've run two different laptops on this system with no problems, so not sure if the Mini is the issue.

Talked to Dr. Dan yesterday and dropping the amp off on Sat. There are some other issues I want him to look at. I normally wouldn't bother but I like sound of the amp.
