Yamaha T-520

Little is documented about the Yamaha T-520. According to a period listing in HiFI-Stereo (February 1986, p.105), the T-520 has an FM usable sensitivity of 10.8 dBf, a signal-to-noise ratio of 80 dB (mono) and 74 dB (stereo), and an AM sensitivity of 300 µV/m.

The T-520 likely followed Yamaha's tuner conventions of the era - quartz-locked or servo-locked tuning, preset memory stations, and a clean front-panel layout. Those are extrapolations from sibling models, not facts about this one. Surviving information is thin, so the Archive welcomes any documentation, original literature, or owner recollections that might fill in the details.
