Kenwood Super Eleven Receiver Problems

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I picked up a Kenwood Super Eleven receiver via CL.

Circa 80-81. 125wpc. 2 phono inputs, ability to connect processors. LED power indicators, LED FM readout. 6 slider eq tone control. Provisions for up to 3 speaker prs. Seems to be around the time that Japanese receivers transitioned from from metal and wood to plastic.

Cleaned out accumulated dust, checked fuses etc and then applied power.

No sound. Other functions seem to work; FM is in alignment, and holds stations.

I can hear a very faint hum when I put my ear to a speaker. Hum disappears when I switch off speakers. I verified that everything was connected to source, and the tape monitor and dubbing circuits were not switched in.

Any ideas what to look for ? Hope it is something simple.

Thanks,

Ross
