meanwhile the mr 78 has been outcast. if I'd have more space, I might have stored this tuner, also because it was a first hand unit.
but to be honest, the mr67 is outstanding, probably not in aspects of modulating but in sonics - especially my item (the first generation with the em 801 magic eye) that it is originally tubed.
best,
