Reverb, guitar input, electronic drum machine, sleep timer, 4 sets of speaker support, 2 microphone inputs, 2 headphone outputs, 2 phonos, 2 aux, 2 tape inputs, EQ sound profiles, speaker wattage limiter - everything you’d ever need or want!!
Here’s a very strange receiver which Kenwood produced. People generally call it the “Jumbo Jet” and it doesn’t disappoint.
I wanted one of these for quite some time and finally got one about seven months ago. These are typically in rough shape because the silkscreen lettering can come off and I suspect musicians took them on the road for various purposes.
From what I can tell, this is kind of a workhorse and these generally work well as-is but they need new bulbs and a ton of switches cleaned with Deoxit.
Mine is completely original except for the lamps. At some point, I’m going to refurbish the power supply and then go from there. But it works well and there’s actually not an imminent need to do anything. It’s a solid 33 watts and I think it would do even better if selected caps were replaced.
I’ll post a video of my initial power on and restoration process in the comments, I took a gamble and bought this cheap - it needed a lot of cleaning - you can see what I did on that video to make it fully functional.
Again, this is an oddball receiver - go ahead and Google for yourself, but there was never nothing else on the market ever again like this.
Happy Memorial Day weekend!
