Kenwood KD 990 recapping

[Black Stuart]

Very pleased to find out that recapping the control PCB for this deck is really cheap. About 10 years ago a German did all the work and the caps almost entirely can be replaced by Panasonic NHG which are really cheap.

I know that a transistor has gone on my first Kenwood deck and found a Russian site that bought up all the JVC and Kenwood (JVC bought out Kenwood) parts.

I may decide to replace not only the the lytic caps but also the diodes and transistors. With a bearing assembly that will easily last a thousand years (unlike the little Austrians Reich) I shall effectively have two new t/ts.
