    This thread has become great! I’ll post a couple as I’m motivated.

    Cambridge Audio T500 Dual Superhetrodyne Tuner.

    And that right there is why I like my analog tuners.

    That is an analog tuner. It has a digital display, and may well use digital frequency synthesis tuning -- but the signal comin' in, goin' through, and comin' out the RCA output jacks is all analog, all the time.

    :|

    The large empty box aesthetic was far from novel when that tuner was made, too.
    This Yamaha CT-610II (which I reckon I posted before) was/is a bit notorious in that regard way back ca. 1977. They do look nice, though, and they're not expensive used -- and they actually sound pretty good. Better than one might think. :#

    Sorry I should have indicated what it is. It's the inside of a deHavilland Model 222 tape playback electronics during a fairly recent tube exchange.

    oh... I had (obviously) no clue... but then, that's not a component I am even familiar with! I'm not peripatetic, I just pretend to be! ;)

    It looks very cool!

    It is the Klipsch era 8008 mkii which is electronically the same as the 8008bb from Mondial...just upgraded aesthetics. I'm really digging this amp with the 1.2tl's. I think the amp is even larger in person than it looks in pictures online.

    Let me know if you ever want to move it down the road.

    It’s already found a new home with a friend of mine. Great amp to be honest, don’t pass one up if you get a chance at one at the right price. Probably my second favorite amp behind my pass labs. I still want to try out a set of Palladium monoblocks if I come across a set.
