Hello, can anyone help with pin pointing dates of manufacturer for HK's. I am trying to match some amps to tuners. With some many tube HK's tuners, I am a little lost with with the available selection. The matches are for HK A300 & A500. Peace JP

I'll try to remember where I saw it, but I do a lot of surfing, & very little bookmarking, lol. I have a copper h/k Rondo tuner, & looked a long time before finding anything. This one was made around '58 or '59, & still works pretty good, though I don't push my luck. :smoke:

Go to Harmon Kardon's site http://www.harmankardon.com/product_support/interstitial.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=ENG
and look at the product support. Select a model number and go to the specifications link near the bottom. These pages show the dates of manufacture. The T300X for example says 1962 as both the first manufactured date and the last manufactured date. Tedious but it will get you what you want. There were no specs for this unit listed.

Looks just like the A500.
