I made a another set of the billet feet for a curbside find I'm about to customize.
Its a Kenwood KR-V6020 and the only thing I could find wrong with it was a broken headphone plug in the port....and 2 missing feet... After removing the plug with a fine set of needle nose pliers and checking the DC-offset per Audiokarma instructions, it works perfectly. I did De-Oxit all the controls...
This faceplate is 1-piece anodized aluminum that I will make into a fine/brushed look and rehone some skills before I do this to a brand new onkyo CD player....

PS:
I'd have picked it up, too!
i.e., you're as bad as I am ...
repent, repent! While there's still time...
I'll be doing another 15% CaOH bath. The center indention strip had a good buildup.
After 320 grit wet sand. I like the look.
Looking more closely at the innards, they're all Elna caps...and no bulging tops.

Quick! Go to your "safe place".
I also find it difficult to fathom that Mhardy owns Cerwin Vegas as well.
I was going to machine a billet volume knob, but realized there is an LED indicator I don't want to cover. I did make a billet phone plug with enough OD to just barely cover the faceplate...
The real bonus is my G4 cellphone remote app controls this guy....Im just a tad elated...

but, that said -- actually, there are a pair of C-Vs here. They were given to us by some good friends and they served my son well in his high school years. They're just -- umm -- somewhere down in the basement at this point.
Come to think of it, they were my first woofer refoaming experience
I do have to say (back on topic), the faceplate looks wonderful, but the knobs just aren't quite doing it for me...

He's a good sport. Funny too.
I admire his uncanny ability to convey, ever so gingerly, that your project/modification is or will be a spectacular fail.
I found the service manual and it states to adjust idle current to 10mV for L-R channels.
Upon initial reading both channels showed 4.5mV... Is this normal to be out of spec this far? And does changing/adjusting idle current change DC offset to where I'd have to recheck it at speaker terminals?
