For less than the upgrade cost, you can purchase, recondition and align a KM-60, as the gentleman a few threads below is doing. And that is a tuner that will embarrass an Etude.There are some other Fishers, Sherwoods and Scotts that will do the same, for around the same cost. And Jimmy, I'm sure, will also throw in his Eico. Again, these are all old school ANALOG designs, the same as MD touts.
I cannot overstress this: in the current world of tuners and what is needed for maximum audio extraction with the present state of FM broadcasting, $300 is now too much money to spend on ANY tuner. Period.
Consider those economics before you dump that kind of money into a plain jane 101a.
Spend the money on a reconditioned vintage model, let your ears decide, and then dump the loser on Agon or Ebay. You'll probably wind up with a better sounding tuner AND money in your pocket.
Or, you can keep what you have and be happy knowing you didn't waste $300.
