AcuDefTechGuy Audioholic Jedi Apr 14, 2018 #2 I think it's worth about $100 on eBay for people who are into vintage AM/FM Radio Tuners. Most of us have no use for AM/FM Tuners these days.

M Code Audioholic General Apr 14, 2018 #3 In its day Dynaco was created by David Hafler, they built some awesome vintage components, mainly available as kits to assemble. For the tuners they made the models AF6(AM & FM) and FM1/3/5(FM only). @ my dad's hifi store he sold alot of Dynaco kits as well as Paco, Eico and Heath. Note that the FM section was highly rated for its excellent quieting slope in its day. The early models were tube and later replace with transistorized versions. Also the Dynaco Stereo 70 tube power amplifier was well rated, and today draws pretty good $. Alot of info such as parts, service manuals, are available, just google the model #. Just my $0.02...

Traditional over air radio is dying. There is more and more streaming. If it were not for cars it would be long gone. However the older generation like radio, and a lot have not mastered streaming yet. If you unit is cosmetically perfect it might make quite a bit over the $100.00 mark. New tuners are hard to come by, and only very expensive ones are any good.

As well it should, since it's about 80% advertising and they can't seem to break that repetitive, top 40 replay model in which to sell it, to those who's mental/emotional capacity thrives on such information.

For the most part the higher end analog tuners were better than the later digital synthesized ones. The digital synthesized tuners had awesome features like presets and scan/seek but the higher end analog tuners had better front ends & if stages. Usually much better quieting slope and selectivity specs.. IMHO.. The best brands were Pioneer & Kenwood, I lean more toward the Kenwood models as their engineers were well qualified for RF designs as they designed/built alot of communications gear.. Just my $0.02...
