From everything I read


It seems like F.M. Radio will be going away in the near future. I currently have a mint Mac tuner that I don't use but it looks nice on the rack. If F.M. Radio does go away as expected do you think the value of this piece will drop like a rock? The only thing the piece has going for it is that it's a vintage Mac piece and there seems to always be a market for vintage Mac gear.  On the other hand if it can't be used will people still want it?

I agree that FM broadcasts are not about to vanish anytime soon, but the sale value of FM tuners has declined, particularly for higher end models.  There are exceptions, but there are less people chasing the same number of tuners, hence a decline in prices.
Al,

Thank you for the erudtion -- your contributions are fantastic!  :-)

Happy Holidays and New Year!

Americans spend a lot of time in their cars. Yes we have sirius, xm, podcoasts and streaming bluetooth but my guess it will stay with us due to cars and maybe somehow real community radio will come back when these corporate stations and the all talk npr need a refresh.  
Sam (c1ferrari), thanks very much.  And all the best to you and yours for 2016!

I agree with those who suggest that FM won't be going away anytime soon. However, I am a bit biased in that I am using an Accuphase T-303, and really enjoy it.
