I'm not engaged to my Accuphase though I do care about it.
I read your comment on the ASP antenna and went to their site. In their tuner section for alignment and repairs they have amoung other tuners a T100 featured I assume they have worked on. I sent off an e-mail full of questions to them today.

Yes, I heard that they are very knowledgeable people, at least were, but it means very little. I spoke with them a few years back and they were very firm about what they do. I was asking about alignment but they were selling me the modifications. When I informed them that I do not like/care about their modification then they become “less cooperative”. I was also very not comfortable that they did not disclosed to me what the minimal numbers of sensitivity and signal-to-noise that they were able to accomplish with their Sansui TU-1X they did in past. It was kind of much depersonalized and I spoke almost like it was a secretary who had no personal attachment with what is going on.

Also today I have found someone that MAY help both of us. Tony Bartunek of Radiodoctor.org here in Canada.......... I can picture you right now rolling your eyes but hold on, check out his back ground on his site and talk to him, you never know.
I'm waiting for a reply.

Might be he is good guy, I do not know. What he does is restore the old radios – very different task from getting the given tuner to perform to the best of own topology. But he is Czechoslovakia and I like Czech people... Might be I need to give him a call to find out if he dealt or be interested to deal with “serious tuner” alignments, not with  the low-demands “retro radios”.

Another alternitive regarding your Rohde Schwarz is to contact Rohde & Schwarz, they have been around a long time, hopefully they can put you in contact with someone that can help you.

Mark, of course I spoke with them. I was not able to fine anybody who still support the analog tuners.  I am sure if I live in Germany and if I knew the people then I would have access to right individuals but approaching to the front entrance of the company did not lean my to anything useful: they insisted that they do not support it anymore.
