Back home, in its original box, in a place full of my life's detritus, lies a Panasonic tuner/amp. Zero crossover or summit like that. I never thought much about its quality, other than it was quite good, but when I came to clear the house out, I realized that it weighed a tonne. Most of the weight was concentrated in the corner with the transformer in it.
Looking back, I think that it might just be better than I'd realized, but after years of languishing in storage, I guess the power caps will have to be nursed back to life. I gather the trick is to use a variac, but I guess a few light bulbs will have to do. What are the odds of it working do you think? I'd ask the radio forum, but I think they'd cast me out for not being a purist.
