This is an old thread, but maybe my reply will help someone at some time. You say you bought this from Underwood Wally and he could not answer a question for you. I have been selling their gear for 15 years. I cannot understand why so many people buy from Wally. I am often answering questions for people who bought from him. Now if a person tells me they bought from him I refer them back to him. As for the tuner- they never sold the unit for long, and never sold many. Today very few companies offer a stand alone tuner- seems radio is out of style. This would be a rare unit, but I would never pay more than $300 for the unit simply because there is no demand for tuners these days. It sounded great to me, and locked onto signals with no problem.
