    Ok, $750 for an FM tuner – no AM, so you can’t hear Sam Riddle on KHJ playing the boss hits. But, that’s not all you need to buy to get the thing going. You need to buy the amp (with the cool tubes). Do you want the nice turntable? Ok, to run that, you need the pre-amp as well. So, be prepared to drop $1,700 1966 USD before you even buy a pair of speakers. Yikes!
