Have you read the Noel Keywood review (HiFi World) on our "G T Audio Restored" Troughline? It was their reference tuner for many many years and as far as I know it is still mentioned in their magazine. During the 1990s and early 2000s we got hundreds of these tuners in to restore update and fit stereo decoders too. My records show we restored at least 600 and owners were extremely pleased with them. We even used to get HiFi shops asking us to restore them too. I compared our version of the Troughline to all the top American tuners from the 1960s/70s, i.e. from Marantz, Fisher, McIntosh and Scott (I owned all of their top models as well as the CT7000 from Yamaha) and the Troughline was not quite as good as the US made tuners but it was significantly more simple and not that far behind in the sound quality stakes. We even developed a special stereo decoder for the Troughline using a modern Philips decoder chip which fitted inside the chassis and that worked very well. Even Tim de Paravicini must have thought the Troughlines was good otherwise he wouldn't have bothered developing a special stereo decoder for it either...
Relived that I'm not the only one.
