€400 is a fair-to-good asking price for a KD-700D, especially if it’s complete and behaves as it should; recent examples cluster around roughly €500-€900 for clean used units, with rougher or less documented ones sometimes dipping near €300-€500, so €400 sits on the sensible end of the market rather than the bargain bin.
That makes it a worthwhile buy because this is one of Kenwood’s better-regarded direct-drive tables: solid build, attractive wood-finish styling, and the kind of stable, low-drama performance vintage-hifi buyers still like. The upside is best if it includes the dust cover, original arm parts, and a known-good cartridge or recent service; at this price, any missing cover or evidence of speed/automation trouble would matter, but a clean, working example is still an easy recommendation.
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.
