KENWOOD KR-7400 VINTAGE RECEIVER, SPECTACULAR CONDITION MINI MONSTER, SUPERB!!!

Description

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT, 45-48 YEAR OLD, COMPLETELY STOCK ORIGINAL GEM OF A RECEIVER THAT PRODUCES RICH WARM SOUND.  IT'S A MINI MONSTER AT 63 WPC WHICH WILL RATTLE THE WINDOWS IF YOU WANT.  KENWOOD PRODUCED A MORE POWERFUL 9400 RECEIVER ALSO BUT THIS MODEL IS MORE HIGHLY REGARDED.  THIS RECEIVER IS IN CRAZY CLEAN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.  I WAS TOLD IT SAT INSIDE A GLASS DOOR CABINET MOST OF IT'S LIFE.  THE CONDITION AND LACK OF INNER DUST CONFIRM THAT THAT CLAIM IS MOST LIKELY TRUE.  I HAVEN'T FOUND MANY UNITS THIS NICE!  THE FRONT OF THE FACEPLATE IS PRACTICALLY FLAWLESS!
I LOVE RECEIVERS AND OWN ABOUT 60. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR FIRST VINTAGE RECEIVER, THIS COULD BE THE FIRST AND LAST RECEIVER YOU EVER BUY.  IT'S THAT GOOD! OR YOU COULD CATCH THE BUG AND END UP WITH 60!  I LIKE THIS KENWOOD 7400 BETTER THAN MY PIONEER SX 828 AND SX 939.  I WOULD RATHER SELL THOSE BUT THEY BOTH HAVE FLAWS THAT I STILL WANT TO FIX.  THIS KENWOOD IS PRACTICALLY PERFECT AND LOOKS WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EITHER OF THOSE PIONEERS.  THE KNOBS ARE MUCH BETTER ON THE KENWOOD.  THE THREE SPEAKER INPUTS (A,B,C) ARE REALLY GREAT FOR COMPARING SPEAKERS OR PAIRING THEM UP FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF GENRE LISTENING.
I BOUGHT THIS FROM MY DENTIST WHILE WORKING IN HIS HOME APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. HE SAID HE BOUGHT IT NEW BUT RARELY HAD TIME TO USE IT AND WASN'T MUCH OF A STEREO GUY.  I GENERALLY CLEAN THE UNITS I BUY AND DEOXIT ALL THE POTS AND SWITCHES BUT THIS UNIT WAS SO CLEAN AND QUIET THAT I DIDN'T FEEL IT NECESSARY TO DO THAT YET.  (IF IT WORKS, DON'T FIX IT)  I ALSO USUALLY UPGRADE THE LIGHTS TO LED'S, BUT ALL THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS ARE STILL WORKING SO I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT STOCK FOR NOSTALGIA SAKE AND THE FACT THAT IT STILL LOOKS GREAT!  THE LIGHTS ARE THE ONE THING I CAN'T GUARANTEE THROUGH THE SHIPPING PROCESS, BUT CHECK THE PHOTOS CLOSELY, THEY ARE ALL WORKING PERFECTLY NOW AND REALLY LOOK NICE!  I DO THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY LOOK EVEN MORE STRIKING WITH BRIGHTER LED'S BUT IT IS RARE TO FIND THEM ALL WORKING.  IT IS AN EASY UPGRADE ON KENWOOD UNITS SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.  EVEN A NOVICE CAN UPGRADE LED'S ON A KENWOOD.  I POLISHED ALL THE KNOBS AND SWITCHES WITH A METAL CLEANER/POLISH.  I OILED THE INSIDE WOOD OF THE SIDE PIECES AND CLEANED AND PROTECTED THE EXTERIOR OF THE SIDES.  THE REAR CONNECTIONS WERE TREATED WITH AN ELECTRONICS
LUBRICANT.
THERE ISN'T A SPECK OF CORROSION ON THIS UNIT.  EVERY SCREW LOOKS BRAND NEW.
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS UNIT AS MY MAIN STEREO FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND LOVE IT'S FEATURES.  I NEVER HOOKED UP A TAPE PLAYER, BUT THE PHONO AND AUX WORKED PERFECTLY.  I EVEN TRIED OUT THE MICROPHONE WHICH IS A KICK AND YOU DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE.  MY WIFE WASN'T IMPRESSED!  I'LL JUST SUM IT UP BY STATING THAT THIS UNIT SOUNDS AND OPERATES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS!  IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS AT LEAST 45 YEARS OLD. (1973-1976) THE CONDITION IS STUNNING AND RARE.  GET IT BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES OR BEFORE I SELL SOME OTHERS AND PULL THIS LISTING.
YOUR RECEIVER WILL ARRIVE SAFELY.  I WILL FIRST PLASTIC WRAP IT, THEN BUBBLE WRAP IT, THEN SNUGGLY PACK IT IN A BOX, THEN SNUGGLY PACK THAT BOX IN ANOTHER BOX.  I KNOW HOW TO GET THIS TO YOU SAFELY, EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FROM OREGON TO MAINE OR FLORIDA.
BEST REGARDS!
