HISTORY:
Another oldie but a goodie, the domestic market twin cassette recorder KXF-W4010 from Kenwood. I had actually been using this as one of my cassette test machines but then I noticed one deck was having drive belt issues plus the high frequency response was dropping off on that deck, the head needed replacing. I decided it was not worth the effort (for me) to service the machine so it has now been on the 'operating table', this is one of those parts extracted ...
This model was released to the market in the period 1998~99 and it looked something like this (case colours varied)
Don't have the KXF-W4010?
It is unlikely that this display module would suit with other machines although it could be useful as a source of the PCB mounted touch switches in other equipment.
Service manuals for this machine are readily available online and from that you can see the various active and passive devices on this board.
KENWOOD - Twin Cassette Deck DISPLAY MODULE ONLY
Circa late 1990's
Model: KXF-W4010
Display Module only
VFD Technology (Vacuum Fluorescent Display)
Colour: Blue/Green
Part number(s): X28-278x
This board provides the user visual interface with the machine, all data is received via a flat "push fit" ribbon cable connecting to the main board. Two rows of male pins on each side of the module are for connecting the Deck A or B transport function sub-boards - those boards are NOT supplied with this advertisement but are available in a separate advertisement.
2x original screws for mounting are supplied
DIMENSIONS:
160mm x 110mm x 40mm height
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
Removed from the fully functioning machine, no issues with the machine at all, which means this display was providing visual display of all parameters, including the transport functions, modes and VU meters. The display has a good brightness and the photographs I have taken were in daylight conditions.
As mentioned above, this was one of my "cassette testing" machines when I was checking for tension and general transport issues plus general playing of the tapes but due to the worn head(s) and the need for a belt on Deck B it was decided that this machine needed to "visit the operating table" (workshop for parting out).
CLEAN
NO damage to any of the connectors or the flat rigid ribbon cable
NO component damage at board level, including the VFD module
Supplied within an ESD bag and fully protected against damage while being shipped.
