wadiman Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Item: Leak Troughline 3 Stereo FM tuner Location: Sydney (Inner west or North Sydney) Price: $140 Item Condition: Original unrestored condition Reason for selling: Not enough time to restore Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, EFT, COD Only Extra Info: I imported this from the UK about 10 years ago and it has been sitting in a cupboard awaiting restoration ever since! It's now time to pass this onto someone who feels inclined to give it a good overhaul and start using it. It powers up fine, the magic eye tuning valve seems to work and it's in reasonable condition. The lettering and trim on the front has some wear as can be seen from the pics but the fascia is good with no scratches or gouges. When these units have been restored with a modern decoder (eg one thing audio - http://www.onethingaudio.webspace.virginmedia.com/OTA/9152-OTA-MAIN.htm) they can take on the best sonically.
