I love tuners, but wasn't sure about the price cutoff!
I have a restored Scott 350B FM tuner that sounds amazing. It was $200 in 1962. Here's a pic I found:
Also have a Hammarlund HQ-129X AM/shortwave communications receiver. It was $173.25 in 1946.
Another pic:
Adjusting for inflation... let's see, the 350B would be $1,449.11 in today's dollars and the HQ-129X would be $1,944.09. Not counting labor and materials for restoration.
And yes, these are thoroughly analog with vacuum tubes throughout!
