Ich biete hier einen Kenwood Plattenspieler mit Direktantrieb an.
Modell KD -3100. Das Gerät besitzt eine Geschwindigkeits Feinjustierung mit Stroboskop. Der Zustand ist sehr gut. Wurde fast nie benützt. Ist noch angeschlossen und kann vorgeführt werden.
Ein echter HiFi klassiker aus dem Jahr 1982.
Aufgrund Privatverkauf keine Garantie oder Rücknahme
The KD-3100 has a solid reputation as a straightforward, good-sounding vintage direct-drive deck, and €150 in excellent condition lands in the fair-to-good range rather than bargain-basement territory. Recent sold examples cluster around roughly €65–€200 depending on condition and extras, with cleaner, tested, or accessorized units often pushing up toward the upper end; so this asking price looks reasonable, and only slightly on the enthusiastic side if it’s bare.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Kenwood strength: stable speed, easy operation, and a dependable platform that takes well to a better cartridge. If it’s truly excellent, the real upside is avoiding restoration hassle on a competent late-70s/early-80s deck. Check that the auto-return works cleanly, the arm cueing is smooth, and the dust cover/headshell are included, because those details matter more here than chasing tiny cosmetic flaws.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kenwood traces its origins to December 21, 1946, when it was founded as Kasuga Radio Co. Ltd. in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, by a group of entrepreneurs led by William "Bill" Kasuga. Emerging in the postwar era, the company initially produced electronic components and amateur radio gear, renaming to Trio Corporation in 1960 before adopting the Kenwood name in 1986 to appeal to Western markets—blending "Ken," a familiar name across Japan and America, with "Wood" evoking durability and Hollywood. This rebranding fueled rapid international growth, starting with a U.S. office in Los Angeles County in 1963.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality audio and communications equipment, excelling in home hi-fi amplifiers like the acclaimed 1970 Supreme 1 multichannel model, receivers, tuners, and speakers with innovations such as polypropylene cones. Kenwood also pioneered car audio systems, including the first audio/video amplifier for home theater in 1981 and anti-theft cassette decks, alongside professional two-way radios and amateur transceivers. While maintaining roots in consumer electronics, it expanded into automotive infotainment.
Today, as part of JVCKENWOOD since the 2008 merger with JVC, Kenwood holds a solid mid-tier position in car audio and professional communications, prized by enthusiasts for reliable performance and aftermarket upgrades. Its vintage home hi-fi gear from the 1970s and 1980s commands respect among collectors for robust build and warm sound, though it no longer dominates pure hi-fi markets.
