Stumbled onto a Scott 4312 tuner. Got it in my system, connected to a Magnum Dynalab early model signal sleuth, then to a Magnum Dynalab antenna indoors.
Did not take the bottom cover off, but the main power supply cap looks original ( four section?)
Everything works like a champ including the lamps and the fine tuning light.
Am I imagining things or does this 50 year old tuner sound better than my Magnum Dynalab FT 101?
I basically listen to one station, NPR classical music station, is there any point to an alignment if it sounds this good and pegs the needle?
Should I think about rennovating the 4312, or just listen?
Wow it sounds good.
