Need a new FM Receiver that works very well

We have a 40 year old Carver that the channels have gone bad and have been using as a receiver. Now it appears the stereo decoder is going bad. Suggestions on a basic FM tuner high end but not too high end. I know FM is waning but we have really good setup.

Why don't you repair/restore it?
Are you interested in selling receiver asis?

I'd probably look for vintage stuff. Like someone said, there probably isn't a lot of thought put into FM anymore.

I have several, including a McIntosh MR77 and a Scott tube unit. In present use is a Mitsubishi DA-F10 from 1978. This is the second one I've owned! It is an easy recommendation! Can be found on EBay for under $200! Check out its specs on the Vintage Tuners site above!
