attached is what is probably the most interesting tuner I have seen in my life. It is the Scott Stereomaster 433, and I believe it is the world's first digital FM tuner.
Note the cool red lights and the SINGLE tuning button. also, note the cool "credit card" slot on the right. I wonder what this was for? There is one on audioclassics priced at $1000 right now, much more than I'd pay for one. but, it might actually be worth that due to it's rarity. I believe Axel over at TVK is in the process of putting together a page on it. I can't wait until it's done! Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand)  -------------------- Henry

It's a beautiful unit indeed, but talking about rarities :

About the Marantz 8B there's a talk in certain audio circles that only five units were made of this model...  The Scott 280, is a mono block with 4 EL34 and 72 watts. it's very rare and very expensive.  We're talking about audio legends.  -------------------- " Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be measured " Albert Einstein |
