I've been scouring boot fairs and secondhand shops for years looking for Marantz oscilloscope tuners, no luck yet though:(.

but where is the RDS or DAB ? ;)
only kidding - its a beautifull bit of kit. I used to have a couple of marantz amps & tape units , though they didn't last log, they wer of a similar vintage to that.
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;)).

That looks great. Shame its all plastic rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe nowerdays. I miss the good-old "clicky" buttons you knew you'd pressed :D
how old IS that Rave mate?
would look good anywhere
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.

Zak, it's from 1978, although they made similarly styled ones through the 70s, and oscilloscope tuners from the 60s.
I cribbed the picture from this site:

Gotta agree with Butuz on that valve setup. Got some valves here to build a headphone amp with at the moment but no time :(

Nah mate, 20/20 vision here (at least until I get longsightedness from spending hours a day on the computer:rolleyes: ). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that:).Quote:
