Der Tuner FM1 ist ein kaum, oder nur zu horrenden Preisen zu bekommendes Gerät, mit außergewöhnlichem Design. Hauptgrund für die Seltenheit ist ein sich immer mehr (durch Nachforschungen) bestätigendes Gerücht, dass von diesem Tuner nur NEUN Exemplare das Werk verlassen haben. SIEBEN davon, mit Seriennnummern die diese Vermutung bestätigen, lassen sich zur Zeit aufspüren und nachweisen.
Originalpreis ca. £ 250 = ca. 1500 DM in den Siebzigern. Heute, bei der Seltenheit, dürfte der Preis in Euro gerade reichen....
