Probably about $100 tops. I found a couple of online classifieds, one was asking $100 and the other $95 including the manual. It came out in 1989. You'll get maybe $20-30 if you take it to a pawnshop. IME the out-of-date surround gear doesn't fetch much in pawnshops. It would be more valuable to someone looking to use one as a decent stereo receiver with a fair amount of power.

Thanks JB. I have many more questions for you as we've commandeered a few vintage pieces. I'll sell some, maybe put together a vintage system.

I had some big honkin' BSR speakers (big ones that have drivers on front and top) that frankly I thought sucked. Took in a pair of Kenwood KL777's that sound much better.

Pioneer turntable through Altec Lansing 714 into Peavey studio monitors=better vinyl tone than I've had in my house for the last two years.

My first stereo was an Altec-Lansing. It was the 911A compact, based on the 714 receiver with a Garrard SL95B turntable set into the top.

That was a good receiver for the time (1971-2), with an excellent tuner and decent phono section. My sister and bro-in-law bought a Pioneer DD turntable in the mid-'70s. I visited them 3 yrs ago and they still had it.

So if you are selling these items in your store or in a retail situation, you could probably tag that Kenwood 9010 rcvr at $125-150 and be willing to accept $100, especially if you clean it up and make sure everything is working OK.
