Sony ST-5100

[raco]

Hi all,

I am going to acquire a Sony ST-5100 in a few days - been looking for a vintage Sony tuner such as 5000FW or ST-A6 etc. for some time - and except for the service manual I couldn't find anything available online.

I read some posts on there on this tuner, including some mentioning the High Fidelity review - can anyone share such materials, opinions recommended mods, etc. on this tuner?

Thank you much in advance.
Radu.

Hello. That's one seems a bit rare. The 5000, the 5130 and 5150 are fairly well-known. It's not even mentioned on the Tuner Information Center. Hope you can find what you are looking for.

Hi Nick,
Thanks, I've seen that. I tried to contact the members that apparently have the High Fidelity review, for instance, but to no avail. I hoped a tread here would render more (hopefully hands-on) information. I was able to get my hands on the service manual to this point.
Thanks, though!
Radu.
