FA: 1956 Pilot Pilotuner AF-724 Tube Mono AM FM Tuner


I had one of those Pilot tuner things along with its corresponding
amplifier some years back. You need both for it to be of any use.



Where's the AMP?

The tuner has no power supply? I suppose that could be, if
it plugs into the amp with a multi pin connector. Any one of us
in this newsgroup could build a PS if we had to.

On mine, bot hthe amp and the tuner/pre-amp section had their own power
supplies. However, you had to plug the amp's AC plug into a socket on the
back of the tuner section. The audio signal was through an RCA-tipped
cable. That's how you would get the amp and the tuner to come on as a
unit.

There were no switches on the amp itself, so if you were to plug
that thing into a regular lightsocket, it would come on and stay on until
you pulled the plug out of the socket. Nice chromeplated thing too.
