Kyocera R-461 (mid-1980s)
The Archive files this under cameras, but the period record identifies the Kyocera R-461 as a stereo receiver from the mid-1980s. Documentation is thin. What survives comes mainly from equipment-directory listings.
Audio listed the R-461 in its receiver specifications at 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, both channels driven, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, with no more than 0.02% THD. In that table it was the smallest of three Kyocera receivers, below the R-861 (100 W/ch) and the R-661 (70 W/ch). Kyocera's own advertising for the line used the slogan "We take them seriously" (Audio, October 1987, p.137).
No production years, original price or further specifications have turned up in the Archive's records.
