Well, it's on one channel right now. :( Should be easy, though. I'll take it to Fred Longworth at Classic Audio Repair in San Diego. I might be open to selling it, provided the current issue is easily resolved. But I want to play with it awhile longer regardless.
Your description is dead on. In addition to a ss# sticker on the back, it has the serial number scratched on the lip, visible when removing the top piece: 0113vk-B. Next to the serial number is the date: 11/81.
Its source is a nothing special Sony cd changer: CDP-CE375. Analog out to the VK, y-cables out of the VK to two Rotel RB-980BX (120wpc) stereo amps, passively biamping a pair of Sony SS M3 bookshelf speakers. Lots of gain with all the amplification. The passive pre doesn't have the high end sizzle, for lack of a better description. The purist in me is delighted.
