Overview
The Kenwood KR-3600 is a solid-state stereo receiver made in Japan in the mid-1970s. It sat at the lower end of Kenwood's receiver range at the time and has the look of Kenwood's mid-1970s audio gear. It has an FM and MW tuner and puts out 22 watts per channel. The tuning scale is large and clearly defined, which makes the front panel easy to use. It originally sold for around $250. Today it is a working vintage piece that people seek out for servicing and restoration.
