    Hi all in Richersounds.  I'm in the market for an FM tuner to connect up to my outdoor speakers for when the next two days of summer arrive. Any chance you guys would have something  open box or second hand lying around? Don't want to spend a fortune on it as it will obviously not be getting a lot of use with our climate.

    Thanks,
    Chalky

    HI Chalky, thanks for the post.
    I take it you have an amplifier running the outdoor speakers at the minute

    Normally I'd say there is the Tibo DAB420 - http://www.richersounds.ie/p-12686-dab420.aspx at £99/€149 but we're currently out of stock on these and may not get any for next couple of weeks.
    In theory you could use a Pure PocketDAB - http://www.richersounds.ie/p-201968-pocketdab-1500.aspx at £39.95/€49.99 with the right lead to give you radio.

    Cheers
    Brian

    Hi Brian,

    I had an old receiver running the show but it stopped working recently. I was going to swap it for an amp I have lying around here, hence the need for the tuner. The PurePocket looks interesting but I don't think the signal around here would be strong enough. I had to connect the receiver to an external aerial to get decent reception. I might just wait until you get some of those Tibo units back in stock. Any cheap receivers lying around?

    Cheers,
    Chalky

    Again, nothing really in O/B or clearance worth mentioning. Entry level you're looking around £200 for a receiver tbh, and thats the pioneer SX20 Dab receiver, or the Yamaha RN301 with FM/AM and network streaming

    We do have our display Tibo, which I could let you have at £90 plus £6.99 shipping if that is of interest to you?

    Cheers
    Brian

    Cheers Brian. I might take you up on that offer but first a friend of mine is checking to see if he has an old tuner in his attic. (He's a hoarder like me) Was your price for the demo unit pounds or euros?

    Hi Chalky024.

    No problem at all.

    Let us know if he finds it for you or not.

    The price Brian had quoted above was in Sterling, knocking a £10 off the retail for the display unit.
