    FM gangs... how to count?

    Hi all, forgive me for asking a question that has likely been discussed in the past. I am wondering how to tell how many gangs a vintage FM tuner actually has? And how to tell the difference between AM and FM gangs? Is it a visual inspection, or do I have to know how to read a schematic? Also...

    Tuner whine antenna issue - help needed - Newbie alert

    I recently picked up a dedicated Tuner at a thrift store. I don't need a tuner, as I have an AVR I use for that, but given that this was a dedicated tuner and likely better than my AVR for radio usage, I thought I'd give it a try. it was also dirt cheap. You guys have corrupted me. >_< Anyway...

    I have a Marantz Model 20 (not 20B), and a Sony ST-5000FW. A Radio X modified ST-5000FW is the best sounding tuner I've ever heard, but I've certainly not heard everything. What would be the better tuner in which to invest with restoration/modifications? What other tuners would be recommended...

    Marantz 105 Tuner AM/FM Buttons

    Hello, Got a 105 tuner as part of a package with a 1060 I am going to try to recap, anyway, the 105 seems to work fine except when operating the AM/FM buttons, the FM will engage, but the AM only cancels the FM and doesn't lock down. I looked at what I could see of the mechanism and could not...
