I have the Owner's Manual and the Service Manual, and no where does it list the specifications. So, I need the power out specs in Quad and Stereo if anyone has them.

The back story on this is that a local shop closed up 30 years ago with a lot of stuff "abandoned on site". There were two 900+, and I asked the owner if I could scavange some parts from the two. So, I ended up with a complete chassis and the power transformers, capacitors, and amps from the second one. That gave me four power amps, and the plan was to build a three channel power amp/electronic crossover box. I got part way into the project, removing the preamp and tuner, but leaving the bridging circuit for two of the amps to make a large bass amp to drive a passive sub,and using the two remaining amps independently for the satellites. I got as far as making 3 aluminum cover plates for the controls area and tuner scale area, and installing the H-K 4 gang volume control in the third area where the joystick was. At that point I lost interest and gave everything to my friend, Jeff. He went a little further but also quit. Recently he bought a new house, and in cleaning up the garage, found the whole pile of H-K stuff. He asked me if I wanted it? Well, I didn't exactly want it, but took it anyway. I have little interest in doing anything with it; but was amazed that H-K included no specs.

If anyone within driving distance wants the whole pile of stuff, contact me. Otherwise it goes in the dumpster.

Jim,

Thanks! That's a lot less in the Quad mode than I wanted. That and the age of the parts makes it a dumpster special. It has to date back to the mid 70's.
