Accuphase C280L
Little is documented about the Accuphase C280L. What survives comes from period equipment directories.
The tuner section, if fitted, was quartz-referenced and digitally synthesized. It had auto up/down scan, eight AM/FM presets and a five-LED signal-strength display. Frequency response on the high-level inputs was given as 5 - 50,000 Hz ±0.5 dB. The magnetic phono section was ±0.3 dB over an unspecified range. A black front panel was optional at extra cost.
