I remember using one of these when they were all there was, and a very
good job it did too. And I can understand your wanting to hang on to
it as an interesting antique. But, functionally, does it do anything
special? You could buy a nice modern tuner for the price of carriage.

It does... it is MUCH easier to deal with complex notes using a strobotuner.
For instruments that have several strings per note (like a piano), the
strobotuner lets you see how far apart they are tuned.

I think the only difference between the ST-11 and the ST-12 is the disc.
You should call Conn and verify this, but I think that changing an ST-11
into an ST-12 is a half-hour job to change the disc, and Conn will probably
sell you an ST-12 disc at a reasonable price.
