Thank you for the translations. Not sure how you did that from a photograph.

My pleasure! Just used an online OCR service that will recognize Japanese. There are many. Cut the lines from the image and inverted the levels and increased the contrast.

Unfortunately, exactly those texts cannot be OCR'd because they are script/handwritten. The second one is likely to be room or apartment or somesuch. Also doesn't OCR.
 
Its a vhf and uhf TV station stereo tuner , it don't tune in to radio station.
Equipment Type should be TV tuner

Wow, that's a rarity. A stereo TV tuner from 1979. Must be an early attempt at home theater. Back in that era televised concerts would sometimes "simulcast" the audio from an FM radio station to provide high quality stereo sound. This would eliminate the need for the simulcast if the TV broadcast was in stereo.

It's also a Japanese domestic market piece. Not sure if the TV band was the same as North America.

It isn't, especially for VHF given the different FM broadcast band range (76-90 MHz). They even have a channel 1 which does not exist in the Americas and Europe. UHF is identical to US channels albeit one channel lower. See Wackypedia.

I wonder what the difference is between them? Too bad there's no serial number with the K variant.

Thanks guys!
