Hi Ken, I think you were talking about the Baldwin electric pianos as they tuned from the back, right?

That one was stolen and I got another one "somewhere". I always tuned pianos by ear. In organs it was more difficult to set a temperament because like the Wurlitzer pianos that you had to tune from the back, it was easier to tune with it and configuring a pickup coil in the Conn Tuning wand, for some Conn's they just had to be on as the oscillators were always "on" so the tuning could be done from the back of the organ. But after I acquired my Reyburn Cybertuner, I retired the Strobotuner.

I think it weighed 40 lbs. He was one of the most stable tuners I ever followed. Of course I am not giving the machine much credit. Dale S.

I thought the current ETD users out there would appreciate this. Ron N
