Having a tinker with this fully working ( vu bulbs ordered) vintage receiver from Japan .
I’m sure this is an SX-636 really, perhaps the KX version was for a certain country?

The SX-636 has a different tuner section. Just AM/FM I think. No SW.
You are a wealth of knowledge Geoff , I’ve been on the net for ages trying to find info on this .cheers
That is a fine looking receiver! I have always loved the 70's and early 80's goodies. Enjoy!

The SX-636 as Geoff rightly says has an AM/FM tuner and no short wave.
I had one when they were new
CD player = Marantz CD6006
DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
Power amp = ADA PF201
Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6
That is a truly STUNNING looking piece of equipment, Andy, and epitomises classic Jap engineering at its best! No doubt it sounds great, too. Enjoy
