look for one that has been upgraded by Don Scott, though getting harder to find. I use a McIntosh MR-74 and Luxman L-110 that he upgraded and they are amazing...

Listing at your price https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9egg4-mcintosh-mr-71-tuners 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. |
https://www.vintageaudioexchange.com/ Edit: Never mind, most of their current tuners are low end. There are a number of McIntosh tuners on eBay for under $700. |
Perhaps you already know about the fmtunerinfo site (http://www.fmtunerinfo.com) which has good reviews and comparisons of tuners. I found it helpful when I was trying to figure out what was best bang for the buck. |
