Looking for a vintage tuner these days


would like to find a good restored vintage tuner.  found some on the net but figured I'd ask here if anyone knows a trusted person that sells restored ones that aren't that outrageous in price.  budget is $700

Attach a real antenna, and hear what the fuss is all about.

Looks a little rough, but that's just the chrome finish. which just about all will have (pitting,rust) to some degree. A good cleaning to prevent further damage is easy.

Assuming the seller plays by the honor system, it should be trouble free(relatively speaking). 
Mine is a daily driver, and often stays on for extended periods. 

I found a clean one  for $700 a few years back. Cosmetic condition however, for a CLEAN(rust free)with case now commands $1K+ in listings I've seen.
