I own a top-end model ( back then) Zenith 26 " T.V, with A.M & F.M,
Turntable Console and a mid 70's Kenwood Eleven model reciever. Why
is the tuner portion of the Kenwood so small (and held in high esteem
by some) and the tuner in the Zenith mammoth in comparison? Did
technolgy advance that much in just 5 to 7 years? Or is the older
Zenith a better tuner? Thank you all for any input on this matter.
Sincerely, Bryan Dibble

The technology did, indeed, advance remarkably.
Your Kenwood has a couple of IC's that replace multiple stages of IF
amplification, and it has a little chip called a phase-locked-loop, with
about 40 transistors on it, that was a technological marvel at the time.
