I have 2 sharp gf777s and one of them is the z model. Am I the only one that feels as if the z has a weaker tuner?
I agree. He's already been told about that. Something just does not seem right with that fella.T-STER said:Stedly why do you insist on sharing your email password in all your replies?
I smell shenanigans here, apart from the security risk no one would share their password repeatedly especially after being told numerous times not to.
So, you have 2 boomboxes that are each almost 40 years old. And one version has a weaker tuner. And the weaker tuning example also happens to be a Z suffixed version. So your conclusion is that the reason MUST be that all Z models have weaker tuners?pabaker said:I have 2 sharp gf777s and one of them is the z model.

Ok, if you read between the lines, what I’m trying to state is that these Boomboxes are 40 years old and performance will always vary between examples due to the past conditions that each example may have seen in their 4 decades of existence, and caution should be exercised when drawing conclusions for an entire model based on observations from specific examples out of perhaps hundreds of thousands, if not millions. As to your question, I own a z model and I also have an h model and no, I don’t observe any discernible difference in their receiving capacity. More than likely, the weak examples you have are suffering from some component degradation in the tuner or requires some alignment adjustment which is not uncommon in analog tuners this old to have some drift from specs.pabaker said:Thanks for the response super duper. That is not how I formed my conclusion. I had 2 z models and compared them to the h I have and neither of the Z models pulled in stations nearly as well as the H. I should have probably included that in my post, but I got rid of one of the Z models. And you are absolutely right, something is not right with that fella.
