digital is overrated
Just picked up this beauty at an estate sale today for $75.00. A saba stereo 3000 with automatic tuning (like a wonderbar radio) The set even worked when I found it, both channels too. This set is from 1963, I have the stereo 2000 which is a more basic model.
This sets sound quality will blow you away! Sounds good with the EL95 outputs. On the right speaker grille is a metal hang on tag that says this saba HIFI is FM stereo equipped. inside is a seperate stereo multiplexer sub chassis. The multiplexer is an optional add on by saba and was made by Fisher. FM stereo works excellent. What is interesting to note, the motorized tuner is constantly operating. Since this set does not have AFC, you can see the dial knob slightly rocking back and fourth keeping FM stations perfectly tuned in! You can select manual mode to turn off the motorized tuning.
The set appears to be all original, all original tubes and a nice original Dual turntable. Like most german made consoles I find, they seem to always come with their manuals and paperwork.
