So right you are M3 lover!
Do I want to return the new to me MR74 for $50 shipping? Or invest the money to service it? It probably needs caps replaced and other stuff? Any ideas? I can't do that kind of electrical work any more due to eyesight and hand unsteadiness.
It was taking up to 15 minutes to warm up and not picking up my station as well as most tuners do. It sounds like power supply caps and it's probably has never been serviced.
It cost me $700 shipped. Is it worth investing in? It's cosmetically nice for a 1970s tuner. Almost perfect in that respect.
