Technics TOTR tuner

 

 

 

reasonably decent cosmetic condition, see photos, some marks, inc 2 small ones on fascia

 

(these marks can be touched up with a mettalic marker pen of right colour, it works well on these brown mettalic series models, ive not done so as i don’t want buyers thinking im hiding the imperfections )

 

sides and back are good, scratches on the top

 

 

 

sounds superb, one of the best i’ve ever heard

 

ive owned this for over 20 years but it has drawn a short straw as it very rarely gets used

 

 

very underated model, curently a bargain sleeper tuner in my opinion

 

people often pay over twice as much for lesser models

 

 

very good sensitivity

 

very low noise floor

 

 

Top Of The Range Tuner

 

 

no fancy gimmicks or features , just the best sound quality Technics could build

 

the pink noise generator (test tone for recording) does not seem to be working,

 

 

the most expensive tuner Technics ever made 600 us dollars in 1979

 

an optional timer exists for this tuner called SH 9038 (not included) and that was priced at additional 600 usd

 

although vintagetechnics have it as MSRP 550 usd (see below )

 

 

https://vintagetechnics.audio/tuners.php

 

 

has a good bright VFD display, unlike most that have faded due to many years of prolonged usage

 

 

incredibly heavy for its size

 

i took a photo of inside by removing the bottom covee, but you can only see the underside of one of the circuit boards

 

i didn’t attempt to remove the lid, which is actually cast alloy and integral with the front panel

 

it also has 2 transformers.

 

 

 

mains plug may not be included, and may be removed before posting

 

this makes packing easier, and also as most quality audio gear sells abroad the buyer is unlikely to be wanting a UK plug

 

 

 

cash on collection is also OK
