Zenith MC-9070
Little is documented about the Zenith MC-9070. The fragmentary record ties the model to Zenith's late-1970s/early-1980s push into audio components. Zenith was better known for television, and it advertised the connection heavily at the time (Zenith's own ads, e.g. HiFI-Stereo, April 1980, p.105, touted its new audio line in just those terms). For the MC-9070 itself, the archive holds a single specification listing in High Fidelity (1981, p.55), retrieved under this model number. The figures read like a cassette deck rather than a camera:
- Input sensitivity: 60 mV (line); 0.3 mV (mic)
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 69 dB with noise reduction; 59 dB without
- THD: 1% (ref. 0 dB record level)
- Input impedance: 5 kΩ
- Output level: 340 mV re DIN 0
- Record indicator: bar-graph type, −30 dB to +3 dB
That is nearly the whole record. No production years, no confirmed original price, and no owner reception have surfaced. A $1,119 price appears elsewhere on the same 1981 page, but it's attached to an adjacent model number the scan reads as "CG-362" - not safely attributable to the 9070. If you have an MC-9070, a manual, or a brochure, the archive would like to hear about it.
