FS: Arcam Delta 80 FM/AM Digital preset tuner
The name gives it away - this is not a digital tuner but an analogue tuner of excellent heritage (A&R T21) with a digital display section. The presets are push button operated and the display is digital but the stations are presets by analogue trimmers on the rear of the unit.
This unit has had little use, originally being part of complete Arcam Delta system in which only the amp and CD player were employed. As such it is in mint minus cosmetic condition. (Slight 2mm mark next to AFC button.) Beautiful black finish. It sounds rich and open with excellent stereo separation on Radio 3 live broadcasts.
Quirks - it will only tune down to 89.1MHz either manually or on the presets. The ML/LW display works but shows only '1545'. The AM section of the tuner works perfectly and has good noise suppression on the AM loop aerial but it has to be tuned by ear. There is provision for a long AM wire aerial to a second socket and the display may work with a higher signal strength than I can muster.
Boxed, manuals, mains lead, AM aerial, registration and warranty (!) documents. Collection preferred from NE49 postcode though hand-over could be arranged in some other locations (A1/M6 corridors, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Borders, Lancashire, Yorkshire). £75. PM if interested
