Scott 350 'C' or 'D' series are excellent tube type tuners. The 'C' or 'D' models are less expensive then the earlier style 'B' series, yet perform as well or slightly better. The Scotts are few dollars over your $100 budget, however worth it. Also, the lower voltages on the tubes makes for very long tube life. I expect these to double in price in a few years.

I think the one I have is a 350D. I was a throw in when I bought 2ea. 222D amps for $100.00. I haven't gotten it running yet, but I'm, hoping it will outshine my Yamaha CT-800 (which is very good).Do you have any idea why they less valued then their earlier counterparts? It seems to me that all but the very top tuners are undervalued, which is very good if you are a buyer.
Per the HH Scott site, just looks makes the 'B' series more desirable. The 'B' model has a round tuning knob amd 'golden era' front panel. The schematics are very simular between the 'B' & 'D' series with the multiplex decoder somewhat different on the 'D' model.This tuner is perfect for upgrades per my findings per the schematics (design). I believe with some simple details, this tuner should get a very quiet noise floor, ultra high sensitivity and high quality audio out. I should be modifying mine in a few weeks with some simple upgrades.
