Vintage Tuner Comments


Anyone wish to comment/state preference on these tuners as to sound and DX'ing in "stock" form? Also, comment/state preference on potential if modified?

Matty,
The follow two websites (mentioned above) are the best sources. None better. There is also a tuner club on Yahoo Groups.

I think you will find that the Kenwood KT-6500 and KT-7500 sound about the same. The KT-7500 is a better DX machine. The 6500 has only a 3 gang tuner, the 7500 is 5 gangs. I believe I've told you elsewhere that I have a 6500 and a modified 8300 (DX and Audio mods). The 6500 is a great deal if you just want good sound. They sell used for +/-$50 depending on condition.
