- All original Eico tubes, New Blue "tuning tube"
and Excellent brass
You are looking at an excellent example of the EICO
HFT-90 FM Mono tuner; partner to the sought after HF-81, a 14 wpc EL-84
integrated amp. This little tuner is all original with a full compliment
of MULLARD/EICO tubes. The "blue exclamation point" tuning eye tube
works as well, giving the unit a retro look not found in most tuners. As
the indicator reaches a station, the tube lights up fully, looking like
a blue exclamation point!
The sound is very full, with a lot of warmth and
heft, carrying a smoothness that makes instruments and vocals sound more
lifelike and palpable. This is the main reason tube components sound
less fatiguing and more real than most solid state gear. The human voice
is so much more rich through tube units; instrumentally, everything from
a tenor sax to a Fender Stratocaster exhibits more body and soul, as the
tubes convey the full timbre and richness.
Among the most advanced of the FM tuner designs
both electrically and mechanically, the EICO HFT-90 FM Tuner kit Is
equal to or surpasses wired tuners up to three times the price, It Is
the first kit to include an entirely prewired and pre-aligned “front
end” (housed and completely shielded in a solid aluminum-zinc casting),
This "front end" not only provides extremely high sensitivity and low
noise but Is also entirely stable and guaranteed drift-free. Through the
use of the most advanced circuitry and temperature compensated
components, the need for AFC Is completely eliminated and drift Is less
than 2 parts in 10,000 from cold start. This "front end" makes
completely practical, even for a novice, the building of an FM tuner kit
equal to really good factory-wired units.
Furthermore, the kit Is supplied with the IF and
Ratio Detector transformer pre-aligned in manufacture. Thus every tuned
circuit In the tuner Is pre-aligned and a completed tuner kit will give
satisfactory reception without alignment providing that the indicated
layout of components and wiring Is followed.
The HFT-90 Is the first kit, also to Include the
DM-70 traveling tuning eye which travels along the side-rule dial as a
luminous "exclamation point" Indicator, contracting at the exact center
of each broadcast signal. Having a sensitivity over six times greater
than other kit tuners and equaling the most expensive wired tuners, the
HFT-90 provides excellent reception even in fringe areas. Other
performance features include fly-wheel tuning, automatic gain control,
stabilized low limiting threshold for excellent performance from weaker
signals, broad-band ratio detector for improved capture ratio and easier
tuning, full-wave rectifier and heavy-filtering, and very low distortion
plus flat frequency response for superb audio quality.
The HFT-90 utilizes a low-silhouette construction,
utilizing a horizontal chassis to permit proper layout and component
separation necessary for long component life and stability, The
Important construction aids include simplified dial cord arrangement
pre-wired tuning eye assembly. Extremely flexible design permits easy
console Installation with adaptability to panel thicknesses up to 3/8
inch. Optional cabinet may also be used in console Installation to
provide additional shielding.
