Is it important for tuner recalibration?


Many many 2-nd handed dealers claimed that their antique tuners have been sent back to manufacturers for recalibrations in parts. They said, without this step, the tuners would not "resurrect", back to their finest performances...
I wanna buy revox b-760. the seller seemed not to be willing to tell me whether this tuner was recalibrated or not....
I wanna know ... is it important for that?

"recalibration" of tuners means simply that the display, in analog or digital mode, is set to correspond correctly to the frequency of each station for which a broadcast signal is detected. it's more important to assure this is done in tuners with mechanical tuning (basically a couple of pullies connected with a string), than those with digital readouts. -kelly
