This is a small-footprint FM/AM digital tuner

No promises on reception/performance, but it worked perfectly fine for me in the FM realm. I cleaned it up a bit, and after looking at market value, figured I would offer it up here as karma.

Let's see...Polk Forum members with 100 or more posts can submit a number between 1 and 100. I will use a random-number generator to determine the winner, if there is enough interest. Please respond by next Sunday, Sept 5 to be included.

    That's way cool. I see they had a matching pre amp, power amp and cassette deck.

    that is so cool... must resist... must resist.
    :#

    In all seriousness, sweet Karma. Not in (I've been karma-fortunate enough here over the years), but still impressed & appreciative.

    There are still good, and good sounding, FM stations here and there, folks!

    EDIT: @jdjohn If you get bored enough and if you happened to be disposed to doing so, I'd love to see a photo of her with her top off! Hubba-hubba. ;)

    This little gem makes me happy!
    Improves this concrete bunker of an office immensely.

    btw. Jody packs things better than most vendors I deal with

    What a perfect fit! The silver face does give a little lift to the other black components. Enjoy, Tony!
