Have holiday money to spend.?? Here is a nice way to do it. Beautiful Kenwood KR-7600 stereo receiver from 1976-77 . This receiver is rated at 80 real watts per channel with a wonderfull tuner section that picked up 20 stations without an antena. Another 1991 well respected receiver picked up TWO. The receiver has a 4 gang tuner and super sensitive reception. The receiver has inputs for 2 phono, aux, 2 tape loops and pre out/main in connections. Also defeatable bass and treble and 2 toggles that allow you to boost certain parts of the audio band. The receiver has etched lettering on the front face and will never wear off. Everything works all lights, switches etc. Like any older unit one could clean the switches but it works great as is. It is in excellent condition (borderline mint) with no marks I can see at all. The original power cord has been repaired as I was using a detachable with it. The only thing I noticed is that part of the little plastic sleeve that runs around power toggle is missing on one side. Most would never notice this as it is very tiny. I just mention it for full disclosure. Sad to say I have found that vintage gear is just more musical and sounds better then alot of the stuff made today.Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. This one is as nice as they come. Asking $185 Thanks,Keith

    Yes. Those are the Pre-outs.

    If I didn't already have a Kenwood in the collection I would definitely consider this. Kenwoods from this era do not get the "respect" they deserve. Very nice, sweet sounding units with plenty of power!

    GLWTS!

    I see phono inputs, is one for MM and the other for MC?

    Also, there appear to be two tape inputs?

    Any chance for a better photo set? The unit looks very nice, do you know how much it weighs?

    Regards,

    Carl

    This the exact receiver my father had when I was growing up. He had it paired with some KLH 5's and a Garrard Zero. Many fond memories with this unit. Very nice sounding unit with real power. My Fathers actually got lost in a move and I have since found and bought him a replacement:) GLWS.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
