About this model
JVC began in 1927 as the Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan, and Nivico was the brand it used in the 1960s, from "Nippon Victor Company". The surviving listing for this AST-103E says only that it powered on and was in good cosmetic condition with normal scuffs. We have not found reliable data on the model itself.
The original site gave JVC its own category for this single item.
Other Japanese equipment in the archive includes the Luxman L-480 integrated amplifier, and Sansui has a company page of its own.
