Featured in this auction is an early 1960's vintage Citation (Harman Kardon) FM tuner model III-X. It is in very good cosmetic condition considering it is nearly 60 years old. There is some slight tarnishing on the knobs. There is no cabinet for it, and I'm guessing it was probably housed in one of those l...ong console cabinets that were so fashionable at the time. I just had the tuning string replaced, and the tuning knob works smoothly. The technician also cleaned the switches, aligned the frontend, IF, and discriminator circuits. There is still some high pitched (hiss like) back ground noise, and no doubt it will probably need some level of electronic restoration, but it does pull in a good number of stations, and is a perfect candidate for restoration. It has 13 tubes and weighs 24 pounds! The price of this tuner new in 1963 was $300- (factory wired) or $220 in kit form. Please see the photos, and feel free to email with questions regarding this item.
I ship internationally to many countries (see "exclusions list"). I will NOT falsify/omit ANY information on Customs forms. Payment due within three days of invoice-no exceptions! Local pick up of items is always welcomed (wear a mask!), with cash being the preferred payment method, or by PayPal in advance. Social distancing guidelines will be followed.
