Technics ST-G6T (1985)
A quartz-synthesized FM/AM tuner from Technics with precision tuning and high stereo separation.
Overview
The Technics ST-G6T is a quartz-synthesized FM/AM stereo tuner made by Technics/Panasonic around 1985. It has 16-station random access memory, auto-scan tuning, and an auto-memory function for storing stations quickly. A digital FM signal strength display and a signal fidelity indicator show how good the reception is.

Design
The ST-G6T runs twin quartz control in both the front end and the MPX circuit. That keeps the tuning stable and the stereo separation high. A double PLL locks the VCO to 19 kHz with high accuracy. The linear switching MPX IC improves linearity by eliminating nonlinear elements. The auto-IF function switches between normal and super narrow IF circuits depending on signal conditions. The quartz level check puts out a precise 333 Hz reference signal for calibrating a deck.
