The SAE Mark 6 Tuner is the HiFi component I never thought I’d be able to own, but after years of searching I finally managed to buy one. In this video I’ll show you what makes it special to me.

FURTHER INFO
Things re-posted multiple times in the comments
ODD FREQUENCIES
US radio frequencies step in odd numbers .1.3.5 etc in other countries the standards are different….the UK for example radio stations can use any digit…e.g. 95.1 & 102.0 …loads written about this in the comments. NOTE…..THE TUNER IS ANALOG…BUT THE DISPLAY IS DIGITAL…so what this means is that as I’m turning the dial it picks up all the frequencies…e.g. 98.1, 98.2, 98.3, 98.4…however the display only changes when it reaches .1,.3,.5, so whilst the display can’t show 102.4, I can tune it in perfectly, it’s at the top of 102.3 or the bottom of 102.5 …it’s an analogue tuning dial….so there are no problems using this at all, none, not one…nada…it works very very well thanks.
CAPACITORS
Capacitor replacement – discussed to death in the comments …read through them if you find capacitor chat interesting. :-/
VISUAL OSCILLOSCOPE MUSIC
There are demos you can play on oscilloscopes – most notably by Jerobeam Fenderson….yes I’ve tried them and they work.
