[BC] Turntable arms

[DANA PUOPOLO]

This one had two tuning meters and used power compactron tubes in its outputs
that were huge. They were the size of 6L6's but had compactron bases. It salso
had a variable gain phono stage. I used to DX with it.

Later I had a Fisher thta used a nuvistor in its front end. Boy was that a hot
tuner!

Was that the one with the green eye tube that had the viewing window on
the side instead of the top end? Great tuner it claimed 0.7 uV for 20 dB
quieting and really did it. The Fisher was another good one that had
similar performance. Use the Sherwood for 80 - 90 mile OTA network pickups
in the late '50's.
