I recently acquired a Tandberg 3001A and a Luxman T-111. It looks like I could resell the Tandberg for quite a bit more than the Luxman. Will it be a horrible mistake to get rid of the Tandberg?
Can't help you with those two. I do have a new Sangean HDT-20 Digital AM/FM tuner and it performs real well with a simple indoor cable antenna. No vintage tuner issues to deal with and hi res to boot. Win, win.
Can’t compare but know the old Tandberg gear well from old Tech Hifi days. The Tandberg gear was top notch in its day! Had a TR-2080 receiver for many years and the tuner even on that receiver was exceptional in its day. If I had a Tandberg Tuner in good working order now I would want to keep it and only sell for a nice premium. Maybe. Everybody has a price. Cheers!
The Tandbergs were famous for amazing sensitivity. If you have difficult reception there's no better choice. Of course, having a great FM antenna can mitigate this.
The other thing about them was they did have a number of programmable stations, so there's that feature. Lastly, the panel bulbs were hot/power hungry and did wear out and were hard to find direct replacements. See if your tech will find a good LED based unit instead.
