I recall Mike Maghakian telling me he had owned one of these. Very
disappointing.

Probably some bad Metamucil. "Vintage" is not a word I'd apply to
this rig. Late 70's, early 80's at best. And not a performer.

IIRC, there were a couple of manufacturers that sprang up to produce
a 'high tech' AM-FM-SW table radios about that time. "Digital" was just
on the cusp of becoming a buzz word, and there was a bit of noise about
ease of tuning, direct frequency entry and all that.

But no one put anything into performance.

I've been toying with my Telefunken HR5000 Digital, AM-FM-SW
receiver. Flourescent display, and I've replaced many of the indicator
lamps with LED's.

FM is great. AM and SW way too bandwidth limited for much listening
enjoyment. But it's tight enough that I don't get a lot of IBOC hash
when zeroed in.

SW is also very heavily bandwidth limited, but sensitive enough to
suck in some reasonably deep DX, and selectivity is such that I can
actually work a heavily crowded band with less difficulty than some of
my Halli's, though not quite as tidily as the Drake, AOR or Ten-Tec.

But FM, into a pair of Altec 846B's will rock the house. Not every
thing that came from that early era of "digital" receivers sucks.
