Kenwood - KD-1033 Turntable

Kenwood KD-1033 turntable – belt drive – vintage hi-fi

Description

The Kenwood KD-1033 is a hi-fi turntable from the period 1976–1978, built in Japan and housed in a wood (walnut) veneer enclosure. This model is known for its reliable belt-drive construction and stable vinyl playback.

The platter supports 33 and 45 rpm and is fully manual in operation, with no automatic features. The S-shaped tonearm with adjustable counterweight and anti-skating allows precise setup. The construction with a vibration-free suspended chassis ensures stable performance and a clean sound reproduction.

Operation & condition

The turntable is functioning and runs steadily. It is a belt-driven model without automatic features. There is a cartridge and stylus present, but the exact type is unknown. The turntable itself appears visually in good condition with normal signs of use. The dust cover is present but in poorer condition, with multiple scratches and cracks (see photos).

Included

Delivered with 45 rpm adapter, anti-skating weight, power cable, RCA cable and ground wire.
