This vintage JVC 4VR-5414 is a high-quality quadraphonic receiver manufactured in Japan between 1971-1974. Featuring a robust output and advanced 4-channel capabilities, it represents the cutting edge of 1970s audio technology.
Key features include:
4-channel amplification with 15W per channel into 8Ω (60W total)
Built-in FM/AM tuner
5-band graphic equalizer for precise sound customization
Simulated Four Channel System (SFCS) for converting 2-channel sources to 4-channel
Multiple inputs for phono, tape, and auxiliary sources
Optional wired remote control for volume and balance
The 4VR-5414 delivers impressive audio performance with a wide 15Hz-50kHz frequency response, low 0.5% total harmonic distortion, and high 75dB signal-to-noise ratio. Its quadraphonic design creates an immersive surround sound experience from both 2-channel and 4-channel sources.
Housed in an attractive walnut wood cabinet, this receiver features a sleek black faceplate with intuitive controls. At 27.8 lbs, it has a solid, well-built feel befitting its high-end status.
Dimensions: 492 x 149 x 365 mm (19.4 x 5.9 x 14.4 inches) Weight: 12.7 kg (27.8 lbs)
This vintage JVC quadraphonic receiver offers a unique piece of audio history combined with excellent sound quality. Its 4-channel capabilities and built-in equalizer make it a versatile centerpiece for any retro hi-fi system.
We hand-polished the Walnut cabinet with Howard Beeswax & Orange Oil based Feed-N-Wax, until it reached a warm luster. Pots have been de-oxidized and this vintage JVC looks great, and sounds even better.
Asking $595 for this beautiful and distinctive early 1970’s JVC 4VR-5414, made in Japan.

Sherwood S-7250 CP Stereo Receiver – 20WPC, Phono, Wood Cabinet
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.

Technics SA-600 AM/FM Stereo Receiver 70 WPC — Japan
Sherwood S-8250 CP AM/FM Stereo Receiver 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
JVC JR-S201 Receiver – 35 WPC, Japan, SEA EQ, Excellent
Thirty-five watts a channel at 0.01% distortion with a damping factor of 70 — numbers most larger receivers of 1978 could not reach. A five-band S.E.A. graphic equalizer sits on the front panel at 40, 250, 1k, 5k and 15kHz, alongside MM phono, two tape loops and push-button speaker terminals. Made in Japan, arrived professionally serviced; cosmetically graded Excellent.
Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.
