Just a little afraid of going too far back into vintage-land, not wanting to find rusting transformers and that kind of thing... (or tuning mech so far out of alignment that no tech wants to touch it, etc)..

But the Fm3 you mention looks very interesting-- simple and utilitarian. And tubed, which I'd love, but thought it might be out of budget (McIntosh, MagDynalab, etc)...
Odd that there is a Volume control there, (guess there were some systems that were Fm only and this precluded the need for a preamp ?).. but I imagine present-day restorers are wiring that out of circuit.

Any idea how long they kept the Dyna Fm3 in production ?
Thanks.
