Do I recall that the REL had a fairly "unusual" tuning section - among its many features that were (and still are) novel for a "civilian" tuner - , and that many of those old parts were not only top, SOTA mil-spec back then but most of them were also "critical value", matched and trimmed to within a gnat's eyelash?  I can't imagine trying to work on that thing.

Those are ridicules fantasies. There is absolutely nothing unusual in REL, nothing none-civilian: neither in design nor in implementation. It is a tuner as any other tuners made at that time, just designed better.  Those foolish rumors most likely started from a Moron at FM Tuners site who called that REL was made like military receivers. Well, there are reasons why I call him a Moron. What would the next: he story that REL was caring the communication between Huston and Neil Armstrong from Gemini 8?
