Neil... just cut out a few century's of waffle and go straight to 'The Travelling Minstrel'!
Think of it as 'Marco's iPod'!... the classic version.
Marco's I-Pod....the early years.
He does like to go on a bit......

Very nice write up of The Leak Trough-Line.
I still have a Stereofetic (as well as many other tuners) and it is not too bad at all.

Thank you spendorman.
I have never heard or seen a Stereofetic. Maybe you might like to write about it on this thread with photos, it would complete the history of Leak tuners....what do you think ?

I can take a few photos, it's not much to look at and my camera (and operator!) are not up to much. It was in a wooden cabinet that housed it and a Leak Stereo 70 (still have).
