Ich verkaufe aus meiner Sammlung einen Kenwood KR 7070 aus den frühen 70er.
Das Gerät ist sehr selten und hat für die damalige Zeit schon einen Sendersuchlauf.
Das Gerät wurde von einer ehemaligen Fachwerkstatt überholt und ist funktionsfähig.
Ich möchte noch darauf hinweisen, dass der Plattenspieler Eingang mit der ein zu stellende Stärke leicht rechts lästig ist.
Der beim zweiten Plattenspieler Eingang ist alles normal.
Das Gerät kann gerne vor Ort getestet werden.
Da es sich um einen Privatverkauf handelt gebe ich keine Garantie, keine Rücknahme und keine Sachmängelhaftung
At €680, this looks steep for a KR-7070 unless the unit is exceptional, fully serviced, and comes with rare extras. Typical used-market chatter for this model has it more in the roughly €70–€140 zone, with stronger restored examples occasionally stretching higher, so this asking price is well beyond normal fair value.
That said, the KR-7070 is a genuinely desirable early-’70s Kenwood: handsome build, solid FM section, nice phono stage, and enough vintage charm to justify collecting if it’s been properly refreshed. If the listing includes documented servicing, original wood case, and clean cosmetics, the premium makes more sense; without that, I’d treat it as a collector’s ask rather than a buy-it-now bargain.
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.
