Kenwood KT-31 (1983–1984)
An AM/FM analog stereo tuner from Kenwood's early 1980s lineup, part of a coordinated component series.
Overview
The Kenwood KT-31 is an AM/FM analog stereo tuner built in Japan from 1983-1984. It was made to pair with other components in Kenwood's KT series, including the KA-31 integrated amplifier and the KX-31 tape deck, so the three together make a matching high-fidelity system. It has an analog tuning scale. A later variant, the KT-31L, was manufactured from 1984 to 1986 and was offered in silver.
