KMQ8
Commentary

A stereo power amplifier transformer kit composed of 3-pole output tube 6RA8 and OY14 type output transformer.

It was sold as a kit of transformers, terminals and chassis, and vacuum tubes and CR parts were sold separately so that it can be used in circuits other than the recommended circuits.

The recommended circuit configuration is the same as that of the SQ38D power amplifier, and the parts and circuit configuration conform to that of the SQ38D.
