I've got a 30 odd year old Kenwoon KA4002 amplifier with the following problem: the left signal goes dead most of the time presumably due to a hot connection because if you give the amp a slight knock it works fine. The problem gradually became worse over time and now the left signal is dead most of the time.
Any ideas on where to start looking for the problem? Where can I find circuit diagrams for this amp to start debugging?

Hi,
My KA4002 which I bought in 1976, has exactly the same problem in the left channel.
Have you managed to repair yours and do you want to share the solution with me ?
Thanks.
