Acquired Kenwood M-97M - Info needed
Hi everyone.
I have been very lucky to have acquired a fabulous 'Kenwood' Midi M-97M' Midi separates system for silly money, well £20 actually. It's all perfect and included speakers, Remote control and Instruction manual. My question is, does anyone know when this model was manufactured? I have done a search but can not find any information. Thank you in anticipation Steve |

A friend of mine had one very similar to this new. Year was 1992.
I recall being very underwhelmed by the plastic record deck!

That would be very close to spot-on.
The system has an A-97 Stereo-amplifer, for which I have the service-manual, and it is dated 1993. It also sports a T-76L Tuner, a DP-97 CD-player, a P-78 Turntable, a GE-970 Equalizer, a X-97 Cassette player and came with a pair of LS-97 Speakers. rgds, /tri-comp |

Excellent, thank you for the info.
I have also written to Kenwood to get their opinion, I will confirm on here when they get back to me. |

Yep, you'd be lucky to get anything but a standard "sorry this model is no longer supported" e-mail, if they bother to reply at all, but you never know.
Michael, I take it Kenwood are now owned by Pioneer, then? Nick. |

Got a reply from 'Kenwood', ye of little faith LOL.
You were right about the date of manufacture. Hi, Sorry for the delay; I've been out of the office recently... This system was manufactured between 1993 – 1994 Kind Regards, Andy Griffiths Navigation Customer Support Engineer Kenwood Electronics (Uk) Ltd |
