Original price was $1,100 - in a day when that was a month's salary!! It also needs an A#1 FM antenna along with an associated antenna amplifier to truly take advantage of its capabilities. Alternately, your computer can get radio stations from around the world infinitely better as the best antenna can only get about 180 miles' worth of stations within range on a good day. It's a bygone era. I owned one many summers ago. It was awesome. It also came with a very beautiful matching walnut veneer wood case. If you can find those two together it would be the best choice. In its day this was the pinnacle of audio quality - that even rivaled McIntosh's great MR78. Remember that this Mark VI includes their incomparable oscilloscope that outclasses a center tune meter.

Long may FM (and AM and SW!) may continue to live in the US! You should do more tuner videos!

I had one, black face, 1972 model, I think. Near mint condition. Sold it about 20 years ago to a guy who could really appreciate it. I do miss watching the active lissajous display on the scope. Most people that had the MK6 didnt know about the lissajous display or what it was for. I have a Technics STS6 that sounds as good, but doesn't pull in weaker stations like the MK6. Pioneer used to make an outboard oscilloscope for stereo systems - I wonderif it had the lissajous display.

This is not from the mid 80s but the mid early 70s.

Well this seventies piece was not especially affordable at its time,but rather high-end or,as it was worded back then: state of the art.

The presenter - no offense - does NOT know how to use the O-Scope. It isn't just used by the center-tuning of the tuner, but it must be used in conjunction with the antenna and the antenna amplifier. Also, the filter and antenna together with the O-Scope can locate multipath and go for a direct signal for a crisper sound.

Have to adjust to get the flattest and highest line to get lowest Multipath.
