Grommes Tube Tuner?

[jcmjrt]

I recently purchased a Grommes Little Jewel integrated amp and am enjoying it. I would like to match the amp with the tube tuner that was supposed to go with it so that I have a pretty stack. Does anyone know what the tuner that matches is called/model number? I figure if I know exactly what I'm looking for that will help with my search...and I want to put a wanted ad in here too...I should know what I'm asking for first :yes:

I think the Little Jewel series was their mono kits. Neat little amps. Is yours marked Little Jewel? Did not think their stereo or factory builts were so named. You know, it is interesting, a rather funky design. Guess manufactuers back then were willing not to be conformist:
Scott - round dials for their tuning
Sherwood - low profile with white faceplates
Grommes - See above
Stromberg Carlson - sort of from the same scholl as Grommes
McIntosh - back glass (still say they started the black faceplate fad and you thought of them as conservative )

Others?

The integrated amp is marked LITTLE JEWEL just to the left of Grommes on the front. The markings are in a light colored ink and are meant to be low key. It has a stereo/monaural selector switch. I've mostly been playing it in stereo. I like the rather kitchy look too. Of course, I like the looks of that Sherwood tuner that radioactive picked up here recently...and I own some Mcintosh, Scott, Harman Kardon and Fisher too. Don't have any Sherwood or Stromberg-Carlson...yet. I must be regressing....away from the BPC :yes:
