Is yamaha CT1010 tuner good?

I recently got a Yamaha CT1010 tuner for very cheap. It was a low risk investment. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this vintage tuner. I used to have an Magnum Dynalab Etude but made the mistake of selling it. The Yamaha sounds OK but I'm wondering if it is any where near the caliber of the Etude. It's hard to compare by memmory as I've changed houses and my listening room is way better now. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.
I also got an Akai TU-S55 and am wondering if that tuner is worth plugging in to try. It was really cheap to buy but it looks like a solid tuner and the inside looks more substancial than the Yamaha.

I have owned a Yamaha CT1010 Tuner and the CA1010 Preamp
since 1977 and have never had any trouble with it, still own
it today. The money you spend on the tuner, used if in good condition, IMO should not detract you from purchasing better than average interconnects for it I just up graded mine and yes it does make a big differance. Monster cable about 70.00
