Hi Bianchi27,

I take it that your name is the bicycle you tool around on?

For tuner information please take a few moments to visit the two web sites I have listed below. They are a weath of information on both sites. On the fmtunerinfo site it provides with detailed information/reviews on many manufactures models over the years. Good luck with the hunt and purchase.

PS On one of the web sites the mention Yamaha and Sansui tuners for sale on ebay. I happen to be an original owner of a Yamaha TX-2000 and love the unit. If you can get that for under $500 (listed for $750) it will be a great catch. However, it is one of those rare units that doesn’t show up for sale much and appears to be highly sought after these days.
