| Most beautiful piece of Hi-Fi kit ever? Ohhhhh, this tuner is gorgeous:  I've been scouring boot fairs and secondhand shops for years looking for Marantz oscilloscope tuners, no luck yet though  .Rich :¬) www.no2id.net www.saynoto0870.com www.housepricecrash.co.uk Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time.... |

| Hehe. I'm not a big fan of 70s silver gear in general, but the blue light and scope make all the difference  .Marantz should make a DAB tuner that looks like that (and preferably sounds as good, if that's possible ).Rich :¬) www.no2id.net www.saynoto0870.com www.housepricecrash.co.uk Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time.... |

| Erk! - from the era where silver facias and hundreds of knobs buttons and LED's were deemed more important than sound quality Rave If your into 70's solid state - these are good friendly forums. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/for...php?forumid=13 Butuz |

I might have to break out the old electronics textbooks again, I fancy getting into some amplifier fiddling, and I want to make myself a Chu Moy headphone amp, too.Zak, it's from 1978, although they made similarly styled ones through the 70s, and oscilloscope tuners from the 60s.
