A vintage tuner/amp I bought on eBay arrived today. It's a well respected brand.
It's sometimes a "pig in a poke" buying on eBay, but I've rarely been disappointed with such purchases.
It came very well packed. For a forty-odd year old unit, it's in immaculate condition and everything works!
It doesn't have a tuning meter, but if you're too low or high, a little red light starts to increase in intensity on either side of the green and they disappear when you're spot on and the stereo light comes on. I've crap radio reception in my "office" (our back bedroom) and I'm using cheap bookshelf speakers, but I'm still impressed.
I've tried it out with a cassette recorder and that sounded good too.
I really didn't need this, as I've three other equally vintage tuner/amps all fully functional, but I've only two sets of speakers and just as few places, to put them. But I like to ring the changes, now and again
I've put it on my YouTube channel.
