Lookin good IMO... Now I need a silver CD player !! This tuner picks up better than any tuner I've ever had by far...

I'd like a 700B with red lights in the meters.... or maybe even green.
... but my favourite is still the original 'yellowish'.
Yes Lee, I know you like the blue, but I like to offset the blue titling against another colour. It needs to stand out on it's own....

Red lights? How'd I know those would be your favorites?

as long as they're not flashing in my rear view mirror....

I like the white..

 

[pennysdad]

I like the white..

agreed. the white is most prestigious.

 

[laatsch55]

And it just looks "right"..

That's the Satanic 700B used for playback of Australian Death Metal

I wanted green but everybody laughed at me so I ended up with white...

 

[pennysdad]

it brings out the detail in the meter without 'washing' it out like the blue e.g. or whatever other colour you use.
red's actually hopeless 'cause it changes the red on the scale to black.... not good.
I like to see the printed scale, and the white shows up the red nicely.

 

[laatsch55]

Being the needle lives in the red.....

Australian Death Metal????? LMOAO!#

Aren't you glad you did??

 

[Skynyrd77]

Aren't you glad you did??

I love it!! But never seen green in there lol. It prob wouldn't work anyway. Maybe like a alpine green!! I'm happy just how it is.

An amp with "green slime" didn't sound attractive...

With the setup I've managed to put together. White was deff the right choice IMO. I think it's lookin good. Now I just need to see what this 3800 can do!!!!

 

[laatsch55]

You've come a long way in a year..

 

[Skynyrd77]

I quite like my 5100 series II.
I just keep forgetting it's hooked up!
I'm really mystified by it, as it shows no sign of it ever been opened, yet there's a button missing on the front, and the only way it could've come out is if the faceplate was off, but it hasn't, so how did it lose itself?
I do have a replacement, but I really can't be bothered. It's not as if it's important or anything.... just the Tuning Mode Auto/Manual button, which I can still work with a screwdriver, or hammer, whichever is closest....
