Hold the damn camera still!?

Actually the KLH portable / compact phono systems like the Model Eleven and Twenty were specifically targeted towards college students for dorm use, these integrated amps were targeted more towards the budding audiophile on a budget. The Stanton Gyropoise turntable had just come out and I believe KLH wanted to capture some of that market to compete with the ARXA turntable / AR Amplifier combo and Dynaco / Dynakit systems that were extremely popular at the time. Pretty sure it’s no accident that the KLH Sixteen closely matches the Gyropoise table and they came out at the same time / price point.

This amp can be restored to working order, I would take everything apart and clean the boards, check all transistors and caps !

I have the Acoustic Research, 1960s transistor amp, which may be Henry Kloss related. Weighs a ton, too.

Good luc. My dad had a NIB Gorler FM tuner and multiplex from this time frame, and the small signal transistors developed a condition where conductive hairs grow inside and short them out. Hopefully the ones in this don't do that.

this is cool. congratulations on the find!

This looks cooked to me. Especially that capacitor missing the top showing the insides. Oddly enough someone would buy that for parts I bet. Especially the knobs.

Get that nice Germanium sound from it when you fix it. You are lucky there were no holes big enough for mice to get in.

Fun find, but the work required would not be worth the effort.

nice but this need rework ın my opinion

I remember speakers like that.. 10w max input, 6.5 full range with a bass radiator 😊 haha. Was perfect when you were young

I had a set of these as a kid, They were pretty mediocre. Then again so was the stereo they were sold with.

Was trash in the 80's lol

Sold exclusively at JC Penny’s

The label name in plural "thrusterS" only makes this a sadder case.

Boomer speakers 🤮

Thrusters are craptastic.

Bahahaha! Banned from the kitchen. That's hilarious. Well that's too bad your woman won't allow you to help. There have been a few times I had to coax my wife into helping me with something. Like towing a vehicle. She did not want to do it. But she did. And there are plenty of times that I have prepared an entire meal. So neither man or wife should feel threatened about switching the roles so to speak. Anyways, congrats on your vintage amp. Have your wife give you a hand with changing the brakes.Maybe then she will see things in a different way.

I really miss the old hand written receipts. There are a few mom & pop stores here that still write them. Brings back in time to a much better world than we have now.

I still have my blue ArcherKit version that I put together. I've used the heck out of it. It's terrific for checking battery draws / drains on cars. If I go "overscale" - it pops the internal fuse. I miss Radio Shack ...

This was my first meter when I was in high school and repairing neighbor's TV's and stereos. My RadioShack store sold this at $29.95 when I bought it. The manager of the store referred people to me to do their repairs and make extra money. You used to get a free battery a month with their "battery card".

I have one of those meters. It was sold in partial kit form here in the UK. I must dig it out and check the batteries.

There's a bigger version of this amp using 2 pairs of 7027's giving 30 wpc. But EL84's (6BQ5's) can do an honest 17.5 wpc. Watch The Twilight Zone Episode 28, Season 1 to see this amplifier in a console in action.

I used to go to a massive boot sale in Studley UK. There must be over 20,000 people that go every week to a field with hundreds of "booters" selling total garbage, but with all those people there is always something interesting to find if you can put up with the constant elbow bashing and sharp bags bashing into your legs and the rest of it. It's like crossing the busiest highway, you have to keep your eyes and wits about you down every isle all the time! My favourite item you have there is the reel to reel tape recorder. I had one very similar called a Fairmate, made in Japan. 😀

That is one cool machine! Real shame about the 8 track tapes you have that have disintegrated inside, although prolly all of them could be restored to good as new :) The cassette adapter would be fantastic given a good service I'm sure too. You either want to keep it or at least keep all those accessories and sell as one fantastic item on ebay or amazon etc. Be worth a few $

Not to much of a genius if your for the orange idiot!

looks like a nice receiver hopefully you can find the stk's for it i would keep checking ebay

I don't think that was true radio shack that looks like one of those cheap Fingerhut catalog specials. Fingerhut will give everybody an account

I love the Gruman LLVs, they'll be missed

The Post Office does have their own tow trucks in larger cities.

I still have my SONY X-Plode stereo boombox. I don't use t too often but I do make an effort to keep it in good condition.

I owned this set as a teenager, wish I still had it as an adult so I could restore it

I have a clock that sounds like that. My musical clock has numbers that open and spin.

Wasp

Wowh

I had the same experience, but with some shrimp when i was a kid

Tiny crab eggs were in the sand. They’re feeding on the algae from the seaweed that decomposed. Crabs are such survivors it’s crazy.

makes me feel better about not noticing tiny pests on my plants lol

Get a fish tank!

you should put them in a small tank with a filter and see how big they get! this could be the start of a great YT journey!

*plant a tomato plant on the moon, the darn caterpillar will be there too out of nowhere!* crazy animals

Zats grazy o!

I have scary with bees

Thanks for helping them. I wish you had more options to get inexpensive options to get them fixed. They certainly are very cute.

Thank you for being kind❤

This would have likely used Germanium transistors throughout the IF and Multiplex circuitry. Chances are the problems could be attributed to "silver whisker disease" in one or more of the transistors. You've also got those red ended black electrolytics in there that are notorious for dying. One other possibility is silver mica disease issues in the IF cans, though that is less likely in a solid state design. The multiplex decoders from that era were rather crude, so you can't expect very much in the way of performance from it. They need a strong signal to produce low noise audio, and won't do a very good job dealing with the HD radio subcarriers that exist today.

A 6C4W (if you happen to have one), cathode directly to GND, with a BF245A(2) as constant current generator, with 24V lead-acid supply (+ a capacitor bank), is very, very good MC preamp.. (The circuit has no resistors, only a output capacitor). Such a preamp, with a Thorens TD125, Audio Technica tonearm, Koetsu (rosewood?) pickup, playing vintage RCA Living Stereo LP:s, cleaned with photo cleaning liquid was the best vinyl sound i ever heard...

They are all the same litter? Some of the unmarked kittens look like nebelungs Adorable BTW

A little spray bottle with just straight gasoline will just drop them immediately. We’ve done it for years and it never fails. Don’t waste your money on bug spray in a can. Nothing works better than gas.

can barely hear ya there
