This is one of the best sounding (of 20) solid state tuners I've purchased and auditioned over the past several years. In fact I ended up with 2 and am keeping the first.

Everything is guaranteed to work perfectly!

I've posted this unit (WITH AN ADOBE PDF FORMAT REVIEW [with specs], A DOZEN HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS and A LINK TO A RECENT $215 eBAY AUCTION) for $176.95 carefully packaged and delivered to your US Zip Code at . . .

    I forgot to say I generally post auctions on eBay on Sunday evenings and will sell here exclusively until next Sunday (April 24th) evening when it will also appear on ebay.

    Let me know if we are close on price. I do not need 2 of these :smile:

    It's funny how that works. WMMS Cleveland (100.7) and known as "The Buzzard" (due to a buzzard population that migrates back each spring to roost in a near-Cleveland Metropark in Hinckley) hit the airwaves I think in 1972. It has remained viable ever since. I still tune in probably at least an hour per day on weekdays.

    Wanted to mention on the tuner that the transaction clears through my PayPal back-end shopping cart that also allows for Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, eCheck (takes 5-7 days to clear) or PayPal.

    I grew up just south of Medina and listened to WMMS religiously when younger. It's not as good now I don't believe, but I've grown up a little bit and maybe my tastes have changed a bit. Good luck with the sale!

    Hi Calrose,

    As I posted above in post #2, I will most likely list on eBay next Sunday (April 24th) if it doesn't sell to a Polkie this week here . . .

    http://www.inspiredsports.com/images/Crown-FM-Two-2

    The last one I saw on eBay closed $40 higher than my $177 delivered price, and I'll consider a reasonable offer.

    I will also be listing an Onkyo Integra T-9090 for about the same delivered price within the next day or so.

    Thanks
