Zenith KR-9000 (n.d.)
Very little is documented about the Zenith KR-9000. The archive files it under "camera," but the single period reference that has surfaced points somewhere else. High Fidelity (1980, p.243) listed a "KR-9000W" in a comparison table of video cassette recorders, next to the RCA Selectavision VCT-400 and the Sanyo VCR-5500. The table records off-air tuning, an audio signal-to-noise ratio of 40 dB, an auto timer, pause, monitor CRT output, and TV hookup - which points to the KR-9000W being a VCR rather than a camera.
Beyond that listing, almost nothing is recorded. No production years, original price, design details, or further specifications have surfaced. If you have a KR-9000 manual, advertisement, or first-hand memory, this page is a good place to contribute it.
