This week is Sanyo Plus T35 tuner time!
From 1980, it has 4 gangs and 4 filters, Wide/Narrow IF band selection, three levels of FM Muting.
It's notable for the digital frequency display, travelling with the analog needle dial pointer.
A real eye-candy!

Thanks to this amazing thread, I revamped the idea to rotate my tuners!
Now it the time for Kenwood KT-7020, the best sounding of my bunch: it's a (tech) beast even if not-so-cool-looking...but I have some beauty too!
Still tuned on Rai Radio 3 Classica FM 102.2 MHz palying:

Denon PMA-1500AE
TANNOY J-30 from 90 Series
Unfortunately I have no Service Manual.
Therefore I have bought one from servicemanuals.com but after the processing time is well past their statements, and one email unanswered and one form-message ignored, I'm starting to get worried...

I started with DBT (fine) and visual inspection:
two jumpers...
mad shadows, are you among the lucky cult spinning the original Chartmaker CSG-1101 pressing???
Definitely you made me listen to my humble 80's-bought repress...
