I have been given a Kenwood Hi-Fi system. Yes it is old and yes it does
work, well partly anyway. Amp with CD player

These are the parts included:
All Kenwood
T-85L Tuner
DP-950 CD player
GE-850 Graphic equaliser
A-85 Amplifier

I have been informed by a chap on eBay that I need a special cable to link
the Tuner and the Graphic Equaliser to the amplifier. Apparently the amp
sends control cables to the other parts in order to switch them on etc.

I was wondering if, long shot I know, if anyone knew anything about this
system and if they could give any further info on the cables so that I could
possibly make some if I can find the components required.


Found a service manual here, it's $4.99

From that you'll find part numbers for the cable, though if it was me
I'd be hacking inside, tracing the connections back (to acertain which
is data and ground, and that they connect like that both ends)
unsoldering the sockets and substituting with something cheap like
minature molex (commonly used for PC interconnects).

But that's me
