Why not start with the tuners in your receivers as they are in-house with a zero cost component. WHat receivers do you have? It might be one or both contain very decent tuners such as the tuners in say a Marantz 18 or 19, Sony STR6060, 6120 or 6200, McIntosh 1700, 1900 or 4100, or even the likes of a Philips 787 or 786 and many others that to get an equally good tuner will put you WAY over budget.
You can always use the receiver as a tuner, just run a set of cables from the tape output of the receiver and turn off the speakers or pop on a set of resistors on the speaker terminals to keep a load on the output. A number of receivers use the same circuits as dedicated tuners of the same period and for a number of these the going price of the receiver is much less than the dedicated tuner. Examples of this include the Sony STR6120 and STR 6200 vs the 5000 tuner and Marantz 18 and 19 vs the respective 20 and 20b tuners.
Think about asking about what car to buy while having 2 cars in the driveway you have never driven. And not sure what you may or may not like about a car.
