A Dynakit PAS-2 Preamp and a Dynatuner, both stock. I got them both for a very reasonable price, esp. considering both units work perfectly. The tuner was advertised as an FM-1 tuner, but since the FM-1 is a mono tuner and the one I have is stereo I think it's really an FM-3.

Update: Okay, so now I'm pretty sure this IS an FM-1, but with the optional FMX-3 stereo adapter, available separately as an add-on.

I haven't opened them up, yet, but they smell a bit smokey (like cigarette smoke) so I will probably get inside to remove dust and take a look at the quality of the wiring, also to see if these are factory-wired or made from kits.

There's a buttload of info on mods I can make to these, but they sound pretty great as-is. The Tuner uses a "magic eye" tuning indicator that looks really cool, and the pre-amp has a sweet sounding phono stage. I spent a few hours last night pulling out old vinyl I hadn't heard in years.

The RCA jacks on the back of the preamp are kind of crowded, making it impossible to fit modern style rca plugs side by side. Curcio makes a kit to replace the whole rca jack set, so I might consider making this mod at some point. Here's a bunch of info:
