Luxman T-210 L (c. 1984–1986)
The Luxman T-210 L is a stereo tuner from the Studio Standard Series 210 line. It was sold alongside the L-210 amplifier and shows up in Luxman's 1984 and 1985/86 program brochures. It was made in Japan before Alpine took over the company in 1984.
The T-210 L differs from earlier Luxman tuners in how it tunes. It's a frequency-synthesized, PLL-controlled design covering FM, AM (MW), and LW, which is a fairly comprehensive band spread for its era. The front panel has a smooth analog dial with signal strength and center-tuning indicators. Owners have noted the large, weighted tuning knob and the fast stereo lock. The fascia came in silver or a champagne-toned brushed-metal finish, typical of early-1980s Luxman industrial design.
The Archive's sources don't document the detailed electrical specs - sensitivity, selectivity, THD, signal-to-noise. Original pricing and production dates beyond the brochure years above are thin too. What survives is mostly anecdotal. Listings describe the T-210 L as fully functional and near mint, and it still circulates in European and Japanese second-hand markets, often paired with its matching L-210 amplifier. One 2026 Hungarian classified listing bundled a T-210L with an L-210 and a Sony CD player for €240. A Swedish listing paired the tuner and amplifier at €400.
