No affiliation. The legendary, cost-no-object Scott broadcast monitor.

The link doesn't work for me but found it on the Bay. It is gorgeous and would give the very best a run for the money, IMHO.

The stereo light does not come on,could be just the bulb.

Really? It's that hard to buy a new bulb and swap it in?

I sent him a message, and asked if he heard the tuner switch into stereo (and the problem was just the bulb), or if all programs stayed in mono.

It is one of the best.

Three thousand dollars. Wow.

I should know about this beast but I did not. An FM tuner with 20 tubes! Lovely.

Hello,

I'm the one who purchased this tuner at the E-bay auction. The issue was not with the stereo light bulb rather it was the relay coil in the MPX/Mono section. Once the coil got up to temp it would open fully causing the signal to completely lock out for dead silence. Replacement coils are few and far between unless you want to cannibalize a 310e's relay coil for a donor or you can re-engineer the entire relay system (this option is cost prohibitive, but it works). Since stations no longer broadcast in Mono the by-pass option seemed to be the most logical solution (particularly since you can always reverse this if you're so inclined).
