Wonderfully sounding preamp. Kenwood Basic C1 Fully tested and played with multiple sources. One of the better preamps I’ve ever heard. All functions working properly and static free. Cabinet has a few tiny marks/ scratches. Face is very clean. One issue: The power cord has been taped down by the plug. I took the tape off and pictured is the raw repair of the cord someone made. I properly retaped with a quality electrical tape ( see pix) However I recommend simply replacing the plug end with a new one. To be safe. It works flawlessly now, but I’d change it.

This came to me from a friend of mine a few years ago and the amplifier was not working. That’s been given away, but I tested this just recently with my Carver amplifier. It is working fine, so I went ahead and opened her up and cleaned everything up inside, Clean and lubricate it all of the controls and they all are very smooth and clean and silent. Everything works as it should. Will ship FedEx ground anywhere in the lower 48 well packed for $30.
