Who makes (made) a gold colored tuner?

[Cheap Hi Fi Fan]

I was thumbing through an old audio mag, and I saw an ad for an Onkyo receiver
that was colored gold. It looked awesome. Anyway, I need to get a tuner, and
I figure that I could get a tuner that is colored gold like that.

Does anyone have any ideas on who would make one? Onkyo does not seem to make
tuners anymore (although perhaps they made one in the past, and I'll make to
buy it used?) The quality is not super important, as I don't use a tuner that
often, and in any case, all the FM stations I like are not picked up that well
around my house. Certainly something of the level of an Onkyo would suffice.
On the flip side, I don't want to spend *too* much either!

Thanks

The Marantz model ST-50 had a beautiful gold finish.
Not a DX tuner, but among the very best I've ever heard.

MD made one some time ago. You can get a Fanfare with just about any
faceplate.

Good choice, I think gold tuners are the best sounding.

If you need cheap have you considered just gold spray paint on what you
currently have?
