Of course no LEDs here but incandescent bulbs shining through coloured plastic. But it is the intention that counts :)The mention of 4-channel compatibility (through an in/out loop) should make this rare Kenwood of unknown lineage a circa 1971 or 1972 vintage.The layout is furthermore somewhat close to the Supreme Series which were launched in 1974, seven years after the original Supreme 1."Chasrock Services is proud to be: ( ISTA 6-FEDEX_A Protocol Certified ) This is a registered certification in electronic packaging. We are approved to safely ship any electronics up to and including 150 lb. packages. The ISTA 6-FEDEX A Protocol is an earned certification. This is achieved by packaging and shipping electronics to the FedEx packaging laboratory, in Collierville, Tennessee They put that package through rigorous testing including the following: Shock Test: (10 random drops from 30 Inches) Compression Test: The package is then tested in a press at 976.94 lbs. of pressure. Vibration Test: The package is then put on a vibration table and violently shaken for 45 minutes. You must pass all three tests without any damage, cosmetically or functionality. This will be double boxed, surrounded in foam to insure safe undamaged delivery to your home or business. Yes, the shipping cost is a little high, but electronics are fragile and do require a lot of packaging and time to get them done right. I think it's worth a few extra bucks, because they can't be replaced. A note for you eBay global customers: ( I will get it to your door safely and insured.) P.S.
