Stiltskin, yes tuner is very nice as well as integrated. Cap(s), diode etc replacement on E202 would likely prove nothing short of astonishing. Tuner is a 5 gang with solid rich sound, love it, thanks for input.

Accuphase Vintage
Thanks, to all. I can install an IEC as I have done in the past with other gear, but it would be a conversion that might take cutting or demo work which I want to avoid. Also the two pin is not the standard like a 3 pin. The two connectors are thi... 
Altec Lansing A7's 50's model
