Lafayette Tuner LT-78C

My new vacuum tube tuner is a Lafayette LT-78C. 

The tuner on top of the Lafayette Stereo224 tube amplifier

Tubelist:
3  6BA6
1  6BE6
2  6AQ8 (ECC85)
3  6AU6
1  6AV6
1  12AU7 (ECC82)
1  12AX7 (ECC83)
1  EM84
1  6X4

Only thing is when you connect it to a modern amplifier the low-end is lost because of 50nF coupling capacitors in the output stage. No problem however with the Bocama amp with it's 500k potmeter.
