It's an illusive thing at present, mouse is complaining of too much wiggle.


Following page claims the A-93 is similar

A user manual for this is here.

Below are pictures showing the sockets for the plugs that I need on the back
of the Kenwood A85 Amp, T-85L tuner etc

I admit the pics are a bit on the crap side, I will try to do better
tomorrow.

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

http://www.kenwood.owner-manuals.com...l-KENWOOD.html

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

Although I haven't got a circuit diagram yet of the manual, some kind person
donated to me the leads that I have been looking for as a result of me
asking for help on these 2 groups.
I am truly grateful for your assistance and all the information and help
from others
