FS: Old skool tuner - JVC T-X1L in full working trim

[REW]

My silver JVC T-X1L that is now little used and with space being at a premium as always, it needs to go to a good home. Works perfectly even off a piece of wet string, as we used to say and offers a crisp and clear sound with very low background noise.

Interesting feature of this tuner is the set of two scales - one FM and the other MW/LW which illuminate only when you are using that frequency range. All bulbs, tuning aids and scale pointer light work fine.

This tuner might suit if you have a 1979 and onwards retro system and of course matches the JVC X1 and other amps from that time. I don't want much for it, just a few drinking vouchers, say £10? Carriage is the problem of course so rather than see it go to waste and I certainly can't bin it, tell me if you are near(ish) and I am happy to meet up.

I don't need it but can't bin it - criminal really! Is this likely to be of any interest to anyone?

I love tuners, especially the ones with funky, heavyweight flywheels.
I love the lights.
I love the buttons and features.

Trouble is, I generally only listen to talkSPORT and 5Live so anything non-DAB drives me nuts :)

I would love a bank of the things though - they'd look really Blake's 7 all wired up and switched on together, I reckon :eyebrows:

[sumday]

as a collector of this era...I quite like the signal strength leds.
a lot of Japanese tuners from this period will light all the lamps from the merest whiff of a prog.

this then gives the illusion of high sensitivity.......looks like a sansui I occasionaly fire up.....related??

NIGE.

[rigger67]

Yeah, I had a Sony tuner and a Technics receiver that both did that, despite having the static noise clearly audible when five green bars were showing :D

[REW]

It'll light 5 green LEDs with a good signal and is then quiet; 2 or 3 lit and you can listen but would look for a better signal really.

I like the look too and am keeping a black one for the moment as it colour matches everything else. And yes, 5live on AM reminds me of transistor radios long ago!

[REW]

Relay it up and down country? Barely worth it I know, but still...

[REW]

Nice tuning knob to spin :)

I travel to Drby and Kettering on Saturday, back on Sunday. Anyone on that route interested?
