Story
In 1966, the audio world was in the middle of a massive technological revolution as manufacturers raced to replace hot, fragile vacuum tubes with cool, reliable transistors.
Maker / Origin
Kenwood began as the Trio Radio Co. in 1946 and became a dominant force in the 'Silver Age' of audio by focusing on high-quality tuners and amplifiers.
Condition & Value
The faceplate appears remarkably clean with minimal scratching around the high-traffic volume and tuning knobs. There is some visible dust in the crevices, and the functionality of the internal bulbs and capacitors cannot be determined from the photo.
