The background noise is from the near ten year-old little Lumix camera I used to record this video. This tuner/amp I've just bought on eBay. It is temporarily replacing another of the same make and model which I've had for many years, that started "motorboating" so is away for repairs. Despite being a bit scruffy looking, (what can you expect for something over fifty years old?) it's in perfect electrical condition. Unlike many tuner/amps of the same vintage, these have multiple imputs. turntable, cassette, tape, aux. They also use din plugs, which I prefer. I was impressed as there was almost no mains hum and no scratchy controls. I'll give the cabinet a tart up as it had a few advertised scratches, but it's real wood veneer so will come up really well. During manufacture, I think the top and the sides were the last parts to be added to the chassis, as just two screws secure the top at the back the front passing under a lip in the facia and just one screw and a clip at the front secures each of the sides, I just gave the facia and tuning dial a good clean. It'll end up in my "office" to replace an equally vintage Rotel tuner/amp which will become just a spare. The tune selected on one of my Rock-Ola jukebox wall boxes that play tracks on iPods through an adapter, is by Blossom Dearie. It's a YouTube rip so not the best quality. The audio selector behind the iPods is for the audio from the CD/DVD player, 2 Humax HDRs, A Virgin Tivo box and a VHS player under the TV to the left of the wall unit. I need the key for which buttons to select for whichever, that's stuck on the inside of the door to the cabinet! The speakers are Goodmans Havant, I bought in 1972. The Philips turntable and Sharp cassette deck are of a similar vintage and both work perfectly, though I did change the belts about fifteen years ago. Neither get a lot of use, but I like to know that like all my gear, they are working perfectly.
