RE: Dual tuners?

Posted by mark.korda@myfairpoint.net on June 4, 2025 at 10:02:02:

M3, both FM 3's work but the one with the more modern faceplate is one of the best examples of the FM 3. I can't remember the modifier but it has a little army of caps near the center that the original lacked. The problem is there are not any good stations to listen to.The tuner lies idle. I got a Dyna ST 35 I wired with all new components but I forgot to ground the new gold jacks. Stock Dyna jacks were grounded to the chassis. It took a trip to Frank Van AlStine, he just passed away, to find that out. Made a passive preamp with silver wire,Alps Black Beauty pots,PAS 2 knobs ,gold jacks and silver toggles.I think aI have a picture M 3, thanks for the note,Mark Korda
