That FM tuner reminds me of the Pioneer super tuner I had in the Camaro back in the day

I remember those. I also remember the Concord car stereos of the late 70s.
Home for a bit
Don’t recall that brand, Maybe a house brand from a car audio shop?
I remember those....man that brings back memories.....the tuners I have one works fine....one no power....I know what it needs...just have to make time to get at it.
Great album, Still waiting for the follow up, Ritchie Faulkner says their just waiting for Halford’s lyricsHome for a bit
i remember concord as well
pretty sure not. they were well known for a time. kind of dwindled away like babb audio and becker, etc
That was a sweet sounding unit, Had the door speakers and of course the 6x9’s in the rear tray, I had second hand speakers from a company called KRACO, They were pretty good for the price
I was rocking and rolling down the street, Lol

No they were founded by this gentleman:
Howard Ladd - Wikipedia
In 1975, Ladd incorporated the Westland International Corporation in Tarzana, California, doing business as Concord Electronics.[23] The company sold stereo radio receivers and cassette tape players for automobiles under the brand names "Concord" and "Westport Labs". Its manufacturing plants were in Tarzana, California, and Yamatoshi, Japan.[24] The Concord Electronics brand name was trademarked in 1980.[25]
Concord mobile audio equipment quickly became one of the leading sellers of high-end, in-dash automobile cassette deck receivers, amplifiers and accessories. The 1982 Concord HPL-130 pioneered the use of Sendust tape playback heads, dbx noise reduction circuitry as well as Dolby noise reduction circuitry, four-gang quartz digital tuning and an audio reproduction range of 30-20,000 Hz, at less than 0.08% distortion, rivaling many in-home audio receivers at a retail price of $ 600 (equivalent to $1,819 in 2022).[26] The Concord mobile product lineup included equalizers, amplifiers and external noise-reduction units designed to seamlessly enhance an in-dash unit's performance.
By 1985, Ladd had sold the Concord Electronics mobile audio company to the Penril Corporation in Rockville, Maryland.
I seem to remember a few brands that fizzled out pretty fast, Lots of competitors back then
When FM became a big thing, Everyone had to have a tuner, And not many beat the pioneer units
Thanks, Interesting info, I would have definitely gave them a try, Wonder what the pricing was? I traded for my set upNo they were founded by this gentleman:

A set of small block 327 heads from a Corvette! That dude got a good deal
supertuners where pretty much the best. even in the lower level pioneer home units of the 70s, their tuners rocked.
