My sister was at a school auction and got a box of "JUNK" for 25 cents. this was in it :shock: ...and it works perfectly. Now if I could pry it out of Pauls hands :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: 
Oh, wow!

Oh, wow!
What he said.
I haven't seen one of those since I was in band in 6th grade. (Yes they had electricity back then.) I also was playing trombone at the time and the only one who could play a natural F the first try. :D

Hmmm, what is it?? A radio? An amplifier? Looks like something they use for hearing tests, with all those knobs to adjust to make some annoying pitch. Can you hear me now? :lol:
But I'm going to guess it is a tuner, based on what Bish said.

Its a strobe tuner, It probably cost 3-4 hundred buck in 1970.They still cost that much I think. Its very fast and accurate. :D My guitar tech uses one.
sweet find!
Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
Three or four hundred?!!!?
Try about $1000.00 back in the late seventies!
This is THE standard for tuning just about anything to within .1 % of a cent!
My old guitar repairman had one and when he had to replace it he complained for weeks about the cost!
Tell you what, I'll give you a WHOLE DOLLAR for it, that's a 400% markup! 8) :lol:
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming......
like the passengers in his car.
I want the toaster...
I agree with the WOW statement
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

I really don't understand, why someone will spend thousands of dollers to get the uber fine tuning.Cmon, even a good chromatic tuner serves the way. (And i don't own even that :lol: )

Absolutely. I bought a Peterson V-SAM to set up my guitars, and it's been worth it, even for the occasional use. Just wish it has that same neon orange retro-chic glow of the Conn strobotuner tuner I recall from my junior high band daze.
Nice find, 'Dog.

There ought to be a relatively easy way to re-invent this for much less money, maybe not $25 that a simple tuner costs, but maybe $200. Hmmm, time to tinker...
