Any vintage tuners with a small footprint?

Most vintage tuners are wide -- made to stack on similarly sized components. Are there any tuners with a small, space-saving footprint? Perhaps deeper than wide? And cheap, because I don't listen to radio that often but need to have my occasional fix of "This American Life."

I had a Sony ST-80W that was quite compact. I'd guess it was about the size of a large box of pop tarts on its side. It does an ok job as a tuner.

Should be able to get one around $25 or so. If you're interested, send me an email & I'll send you a link with a write up.

I remember Parasound made a tuner that was more conventional looking in a smaller package.

Sony made in the 80's a really nice, small, great sounding tuner, ST-V7, I believe was the model #. Hard to find but you see them Ebay occasionally.

not vintage, but might sound better, sells for about $80, and has a very small footprint - plus a remote
