Pioneer TX 9500 tuner/ Comments?


I am looking at buying a Pioneer TX 9500 for some casual listening. It's in very good shape and I can get it for $80. Does anyone know if this is a decent tuner? The only tuner I have as a reference was the one I had in a McIntosh 4100 receiver I used to own. If the Pioneer is comparable I would be satisfied. Thanks.

They typically go for around $100 on eBay. Has a 5 gang tuning capacitor, which is very good. A typical middle of the road vintage tuner has 3 gangs. It should be very sensitive for weak signals. Has 4 filters, so should be very selective also.
