KLH Model 21 found at Goodwill today!
Hello everyone today I found at Goodwill (work) a KLH Model 21 on the shelf in the electronics section in the store its kind of in rough shape as its missing the bass control knob and the grille cloth is coming loose and its got some lavander colored paint splatters on it but I figure for $7.99 one couldn't go wrong with such a classic piece of electronics history. So anyways I would like to know a little more about this unit as far as when it was made and a little bit about how it works and also as to where I could get a replacement knob for the bass control and how I could go about cleaning up the paint spatters on the unit. Any help and information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Levi Pictures are posted below. |

I Google-searched it and found 7,840 results. Including one on Shopgoodwill com that sold for $60. You got a nice employee discount!

I have used a product called "goof off" successfully to remove latex paint splatters without damaging the underlying wood finish on older radios... I suspect that it would work ok on the KLH.

Alright, I'll see about picking up a bottle of that. The only problem is that there's some paint spatters on one of the knobs as well and I tried scratching it off with my fingernail and it wouldn't come off and I know goof-off isn't going to be good to use on something like plastic because it has stuff in it that hard on plastic, so I wonder what I would use on the knobs to clean them up.

Try the new Goof Off 2. "SAFE ON PLASTIC!"

Try the link again. Perhaps the download is a bit slow, but it works fine here.

It's a 27-page PDF file. Must be some trouble on your end.

Yeah it will let me navigate through the pages but the printed pages themselves aren't showing up in the PDF Download. So I'm not sure what's going on.
So I figured out that it must of been my Adobe Reader plugin on my web browser that was screwing things up because when I downloaded the file onto my computer and then opened it with Adobe Reader on my Computer it worked fine. Last edited by Captainclock; 05-13-2016 at 10:15 PM. |

The link works for me. Might want to try right clicking and choosing 'Save Link as'. Takes forever for my browser to open the PDF if I simply open the link.

There are multiple version and revisions of the Twenty-One.
From the looks of his, it's probably one of the early (non-IC) versions. Pictures of the boards inside his unit could confirm this. . |
