    Hey AK’ers! I’ve got a Marantz 10b - with a serial #10 3368. Does the 10 mean that it was the 10th unit made? The unit is immaculate.

    Need more output from tube tuner

    I have a nice Sherwood sv3000-V If I run it directly to my amp I get tons of volume.. The issue I had was no bass or treble control. A friend had a passive box he built the allows for bass / treble adjustment but at a loss of volume because of resistors etc. Is there a simple way to increase the...

    What makes a good tuner?

    This is a specifically tube question but I’m looking through some fisher tube tuners and prices range from $60-$2999. So obviously there’s more tubes so better signal amplification but what else could possibly make that big a difference between a FM90b and an FM1000? This would go for all makes...

    Heathkit FM-3 Tuner - Humming and High Voltages

    Hi, I recapped Heathkit FM-3. Photos and schematic are below. It sounds great, but there's a bad humming coming off the output next to the antenna terminals. The other output is clean. I haven't spotted any broken connections but most resistors were way over value so I swapped them. I haven't...

    Best ROI for rolling in tube tuners?

    Hello AK! I'm starting to roll tubes on a suhweeet McIntosh MR67 scored a few weeks ago, and it has me pondering where the best bang-for-buck is in tube tuners: audio amps? RF amps/demux? IF filter? Stereo amp/demux? So far it's been: 1) Left audio 6BL8 was a no-diamond Telefunken that flared...

    Old tuner coming

    I was more or less looking for a vintage tuner, because I like the look. So I came across a harman kardon F500X that went a got for a song, is missing tubes and is going to be a project for sure but I'm up to the task. I have 50 % of the tubes here already. So I hope I can get it fired up next...

    Fisher FM-100-B issues

    I've just picked up a Fisher FM-100-B tube tuner and it's a nice looking piece of equipment. I am pairing it with an X-100B integrated amplifier (and some Tekton Lore speakers). Cincinnati is lucky to have a good classical station, two stations which between them maybe equal ONE occasionally...

    New To Me Eico 2200 Tuner

    Hi, I'll start by saying that this is, ultimately, a "what's it worth" post, so please move it to a more appropriate place if it exists - I'm not that familiar with all of the nooks and crannies of the forum. As the post title says, I have a new to me Eico 2200 "Classic Series" tuner that I...

    Magnavox tube tuner help please

    So I located another switch for my Maggie 7911 tuner chassis. I took some photos and looked at the schematic and have no clue where I screwed up. I have it alligator clipped so that could be part of the issue. I get reception but not as much as expected and the speakers don't have dc but does...
