> Jesus! $250 for a radio?! That's pretty pricey for what it is...I'm amazed people will pay for that, especially since most receivers have a radio tuner built in already.
Yeah, that's not exactly what I'd call an entry-level model; Yamaha makes that for people that want a tuner for their more expensive integrated amps (some of which run well into 4 figures). I was just looking for a quick example and that's the first one that came up. If you dig around, you could probably find cheaper ones - but I doubt you'd find much under $100 or so.
> I like the vintage look, but I'd rather have the functionality of a digital tuner that showed me the actual frequency
Here's a digital version from the same manufacturer; it's a bit more pricey, though.
With table radios, I'm certain you can find cheaper ones - just make sure it has a headphone jack (that disables the internal speaker) so you can hook it up to your amp when you want to.
One nice thing with the table radio is that you can just use the built in speaker for times when you're not as concerned with the sound quality and you don't feel like changing the amp wiring.
