A mini-ongoing saga here; my latest ebay purchase arrived the other day; a Sansui TU317 tuner from about 1978, (that's the date of manufacture, not postage by the bye...), however, the aerial connection at the back are suitable for spade terminals only; no phono socket inputs (except for the audio out connections).
Having shopped round a bit (Maplin and online info) I can't readily clap hands on an antenna which is suitable - none to date have the spade terminals I need.
Any suggestions? I've rigged up a basic thing that lets me get Radio 3, but it could be much better (wire and a crimp basically); are there any manufacturers who produce such a thing? Can't be that rare surely?! The sound is good on a signal strength of about 2.5, but on 5 (max), I'm sure it would be really impressive.
(Or maybe they are - da da daaaaaaah!)
PS - did I mention it's got meters to indicate signal strength and tuning? Oh my lord, it's like going back in time!!!
