Can I have the benefit of your collective knowledge?
"I. P. Yurin" wrote in message ... I hate to be a dullard, but in so many ways I am. I accept that. And I realize this is not really s/w related, but I like this group and it's full of smart radio people. Basically, I would like to know what "this" is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3034411896 I found it by searching on a certain radio station. In any case, the picture shows what seems to be a tuner, with stations, rather than freq's listed on the dial. What intrigues me is that many of these stations are local NYC and ones I listen to regularly. The write-up makes it seem like this tuner will be better than a "normal" tuner that covers the whole band. Is that true? It's a (rather aesthetically pleasing) crystal controlled "stationized" FM tuner. In it's day, I'm sure it was quite a bit better than it's full band tunable contemporaries, as those tended to drift a lot on FM frequencies at the time. Of course, it's only a monaural tuner, but there are stereo multiplex adaptors out there that you can buy to use with it, but these would not be as good as what's in a modern stereo receiver. Basically, if you like it for it's curiosity value or for it's aesthetics, it may be worth something to you. As for what it will do about receiving FM signals, it's probably nowhere close to a modern Kenwood, Marantz, Sansui, etc.. |
