Merrylander made my day!
Yamaha newbie still, only 2 weeks ago got my first...
(long story follows...)
Drove 60 mi to catch an alledged $50 CR-800 to use as a tuner while I try to fix the recent T-7 keeper.
Had read Rob's descriptions about the CR-800's high sensitivity; I do FM a lot...and one of my stations is far, far, away :lazer:. (KLOO).
Hmmm. The owner can't see itsy bitsy numbers too well...it was a CR-600, not 800.
So I figure oh well, drove this far, probably not nearly as good as the CR-800.
No lights lit except the red LEDs. Lots of cigarette stains on the knobs. No antenna to test FM. Oops, forgot to bring. :grumpy:
But...no knobs missing...and the wood case is 99%. finally, both meters move...so...offered half...Yes it followed me home. Sound familiar?
--Epilog--
After reading the following, I'm thinking I actually did better for a tuner than if he'd had a real CR-800... :scratch2:
Same tuner? Turned my shrug into a yee-HA!
...and even the faceplate/knobs cleaned up all shiny. Not even one teeny scratch. :thmbsp:
Thanks Rob!

P.S. will search AK for lights replacement tips... Oh, and KLOO comes in fine...!

...The CR-800 has an IHF rating of 150 WPC if you want to compare them to new stuff. It and its sister, the CR-600 share a common tuner section that is very sensitive.
