The TK-88 is a beautiful Kenwood receiver. It has a good, warm vintage sound that you'd expect from an amplifier from the late 1960s. We don't have a lot of information about the model, but it is one of the first Solid State Kenwood receivers - definitely a vintage gem worthy of attention. The front panel is a beautiful mix of black, silver, and wood, making it a standout visually as well. This system currently has no power and had issues with smoke coming out the right side when it was turned on, so we recommend it either for use of parts or as a unique repair project!

CONDITION

As is, not working, for parts or repair.

At Spencertified, we are experts on a wide variety of electronics. Unfortunately, we do not have the time or resources necessary to fix everything that comes in our shop. So, rather than throwing it away, we give our customers an opportunity to tinker.

Cosmetic Condition: Good.

Functional Condition: No power. DO NOT PLUG IN!

Technician notes: Left channel was quieter than the right channel during initial testing. Swapped out speaker output resistors (right side to left). During the next round of testing, there was sound, but smoke came from the right side. There is blue tape inside the unit that marks where the smoke location is.

My Sony 400 disc player stopped working. I watched YouTube videos and came across this website. Since 90% of failures are the belts I decided to try to fix it myself with the help of the video. It was the belts and after installing them it works great again. I received the belts really quickly and with no prior knowledge took the case off with help from the video and installed the belts myself. So happy to have my player working again. I will always contact Spencertified for my parts and repair needs. Thanks so much. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

Spencer and Amy helped us find 40 or so speakers to build a wall out of them at a restaurant and were super helpful finding and loading up all of the speakers. The wall turned out great and would definitely recommend them for anything sound!

Visit this shop for sweet deals on receivers, multi-disc CD players, turntables and all of your stereo and surround sound speakers and components.(they had many options, new stuff and older vintage too.)
REALLY! It was cool to do business with honest people who listened and gave me just what I was looking for. I asked a lot of questions about equipment and was shown different options, and, different prices, straight forward and honest.

Spencer was super helpful and knowledgeable when I visit him. I experienced a slight issue with some hardware and he was more than willing to make it right. As a nice gesture he gave me a slight upgrade to the equipment I was purchasing. He’s very reasonable and enjoyable to work with! Highly recommend!
