TOTL Receivers: Yamaha? Sony? Kenwood? Others?

I'm familiar with Pioneer and Marantz receivers and their line-ups. I'm not familiar at all with Yamaha, Sony, or Kenwoods, although I've seen pictures of at least one silver faced receiver from each. I'm wondering if anybody has the name and/or pics of their TOTL receivers from around '75-'80.

I believe the "best" Kenwood during this time was the KR-9600, but I've also seen a KR-9000G that looked pretty sweet as well. Any links or info you've got is much appreciated.

As far as MCS goes it's the 3125. Very decent machine for a store brand.

Oh, and the SA-1000 is a cool beast :)
