When this one came to me it was absolutely filthy. After a little love and care, she sings again! Mid 1960’s FM-1 Dynatuner with the FMX-3 Stereomatic Mutiplex daughter board. Fully functional. Mounted in a new rift cut oak veneer case with brass accents. Hooked up to a good antenna she brings in FM stations clearly. I also installed new output RCA jacks and replaced the power cord.

Would really like this to go to someone that appreciates old tube gear. From what I’ve read there are some good mod options for the enthusiast. I’m sure new caps would make things that much better, I’m just done fooling around with it. Someone else can have that fun! The electronics are completely stock to the best of my knowledge. She’s not perfect by any means, there are a few years on this one and she wasn’t treated well, but I tried to give her a refresh and a little bling. The coolest thing is the 6FG6 “Magic Eye” tuning indicator tube works perfectly.

Would love to get $120 for it plus shipping. Just trying to find her a new home as I try to thin the herd. If anyone's looking for a cool tube tuner, this is a fun, simple one. For shipping, I would remove all tubes, individually wrap them and double box everything. Let me me know if you’re interested! Thank you.

    They're good sounding tuners, too, and - IIRC - can be aligned without sophisticated equipment (i.e., sans scope and sweep generator).

    Of all the hifi things I really don't need... I really don't need another tuner, unfortunately. :|

    The patina is the best part, too!

    I mean, the Statue of Liberty wouldn't look nearly as cool if she were shiny copper colored, you know? ;)

    @Verb... no! Marky. must. resist. tuna.
