    You guys keep bidding higher on each other's misunderstanding... It's just a bunch of metal and plastic put together, imho...

    I am truly sorry to read that, I had no idea.

    Lets just drop all of this, please.

    Hi Ali,

    I have no comment to make regarding tuners (goodness, that is less than an insignificant triviality in the circumstances), but as I consider you a friend, I am most saddened to hear of your terrible news

    My thoughts go to everyone concerned, not least of which your good lady and her family - and I will pray for the best possible outcome.

    Take care, mate.

    Best,
    Marco.

    No problem, Ali. She can count on my prayers.

    Stay positive if you can. Where there's life, mate, there's hope.

    Another machine arrived today Sony 'TC-377'. it's mint but needs a good clean & service, wants a new set of belts etc..I always fit new belts regardless of if they need em or not. The great thing about the 'TC-366', 'TC-377' & 'TC-378' Sony machines is they had a wedged shape cabinet where you could either have the machine laid down flat or sat up like the 'TC-366' pictured at the back, a clever idea, you just unscrew the side screws & turn the machine around, screw it back up..

    Anyway got it for a song £51.00
