Spotted at Angry Mom Records in Ithaca, New York, a 1970s Kenwood KR-7070 receiver. Perhaps ahead of its time, it had a moving-coil phono stage.

OK, it was ahead of its time! An optional wired remote control was available for the KR-7070.
How could I have missed this 2005 Weltron audio system? Maybe it just hasn’t landed on Earth yet.
When I was a kid a friend had a Wollensak tape deck, and I wanted it badly. 1961 Wollensak ad.
