Quick video on a restoration project of two Harman Kardon hk770 power amplifiers.
This was a long project but it turned out great. I may upload more restoration and repair videos in the future, it depends on if people are interested.

I‘be got one of these on the shelf and never got to it. I will now! These new vids are great and by hitting the high points we get to see more of your work. Anyone who wants to get more detailed reviews of your approach to restoration can visit your earlier vids. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Awesome work Connor! Nothing like those older Harman/Kardon amps! They look brand new now. Too bad the company is now only a shell of what they were back in the day.

Can you please explain where I should set the bias on the 10 mv, there are 2 places for L and R with VR 401 and VR402. On the main board you have two measuring points of 0.33 ohm for L and R two. Both 0.33 ohm on the center pin and ground are adjusted to 10+10mv. Then I have VR 403 and 404 that I have to set to 0 or 10 mv on the output of the speakers with a digital multimeter. Once you have pressed both speaker outputs, wait 15 or 30 minutes and then use the meter to adjust the output to 0 or 10 mV. What do you do first? I have already replaced the adjustment potentiometers for the better blue ones. I would like to hear from you again. Kind regards.

Hello, I have been following you carefully on You Tube regarding service HK770. Replaced all electrolytic capacitors and replaced the 100uf and C next to it on the control boards. I checked everything for bad connections and replaced the 24V relay, but I still occasionally hear a kind of noise and then crackling or a kind of pop. The speaker output is regularly difficult at 10mV. I think it only comes from 1 channel, think small control board. What could this be and how do I approach it?

If you were to recommend among the HK 770, the Sanyo P55, and the Technics SE-A7 - power output aside - which do you consider the most restoration friendly and which did you like the most when all was done? Thanks!

Definitely the SE-A7. It’s really a wonderful sounding and performing amplifier. I still use one in my reference system to this day. The hk770 is dead simple and incredibly easy to service, but the SE-A7 is still fairly straightforward.

Hi, I have a 725 hooked up to a 770; when i turn ON the 770, the red power light comes on, but none of the indicator LED's do not turn on. I purchased brand new RCA's just to be sure, but still no dice. I bought the pair from an ebay seller and he swears up and down that it "was working".... Any advice would be greatly appreciated

just wondering, how would you use these as a headphone amp? They have no headphone jack and the RCAs on the back are inputs, not outputs, is there a way to just take the speaker terminals and plus them into your headphones?

Hey there do you have any tricks or tips that you might share after this rebuild. I will be recapping my HK 770 and my pair of HK775s. Any od parse or sourcing issue's? I did an HK 870 and finding Nes Capacitors for the power board was challenge because it uses a FOUR pin design. Any heads up would be Appreciated, anything you would do different?

You could replace the four pin with 2 pin caps. W of the pins are dummy pins for holding the cap. I would recommend using some good heat and chemical resistant double sided tape from 3m or something or hot glue to stabilize them. I used Kemet (formerly BHC) ALC10 four pin caps on my Harman Kardon PM665. I think that they also have those in the "slit foil" audio grade version. ALC10S if I recall.
