The photo shows the PL-310 "ET" (for Easy Tuning). This is a NEW model. Do the reviews reflect this new model, or the predecessor?

The model I have is the PL-310 ET. I did not know there was an earlier model.

Heinz, my review was based on the old model I believe. My model number is PL-310 without any "ET" or anything else in the model designation, either on the front or back of the radio. Just to add, I have been very satisfied with the radio. The AM (MW) reception is excellent. I particularly like the timer feature which automatically turns the radio off after the set elapsed time. It has saved me the trouble of replacing batteries on many occasions. I would buy the PL-310 again if I should drop it into the pool like I did with my Grundig.Hans

Mine is exactly like the picture...the knob that you see can ajust stations, I love mine, like the digital and it works as good as my Grundig 400 YB for reception, I take mine for travel, I do a program on WWCR shortwave and like to catch my program when I travel, gets WWCR in Mexico and South America. A+ radio for the money.

Because it possesses numerous flaws that almost overpower the fine fidelity and reception capability. The analog/electronic tuner which is considerably out of calibration as it hunts for the previously tuned station which takes 3 seconds! It only looks "analog", as it has replaced the old style multi ganged variable capacitor with an electronic unit! The "analog" tuning face has limo tinted plastic covering it which is VERY difficult to see without artificial light at night! It needs a total overhaul! PLL tuning would be at least a start! Answer your question?

I scored the deal yesterday and have it in hand today. Serial Number 33.......... This tells me that it was produced in 2013, 3rd quarter so it definitely is the new sensor. It doesn't exibit lens droop or unwind. There is a little play in the lens when extended, but not like I saw on Utube videos of the problem. Battery is charging and I'm fired up!

I had a branch I cut land on the son gun, and broke mine, but it tipped down was all. Still works like a champ (my 8200U) and have another property and want the same thing. I am awaiting answer to see if indeed it is a 8200U as description states, unlike selection box that states 8220. perplexed. But, do you have image issues or is it working the same ? If so, run with it. If not, do you have a pre-amp ? If not, get one. Mine gets a 2 hr drive away at nite or early day, to the west (pointed NE) and 68 miles South, same time frames.

I believe it's just a newer model, same specs. I replaced our EC65 after 30 plus years with the EC65A, installed perfectly. The only thing i noticed was the new pressure gauge mount as it is designed on the shell casing, has a adapter. My old model just had a standard female 1/4"NPT for the gauge mount into the casing. The new EC65A model uses an adapter for the newer gauge type that threads into the casing with an o-ring seal, but you can still change out the gauge if required with its standard male 1/4" NPT gauge if desired, or if the one that comes with the filter ever fails.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

I've heard there's some improvement in the power supply, and also an anti-pop circuit that was added to remove speaker pop when the unit is turned on. The nice thing is that this unit is priced so closely to the old unit, might as well buy this one. When I bought mine I actually found it on Amazon for $2 cheaper than the old unit. Since prices on Amazon tend to flux, it's good to check what all merchants are offering at the time.

There are both optical and mechanical improvements in the new model. I wish I had the new one, but there isn't enough of a difference to justify the cost to me. The CPC1100 does the job I need.

Actually, you should read ALL of the posts about ALL the problems with thisturntable -- but don't get scared off by them; it's a good-enough product.I bought an AT-PL120 for two main reasons: 1 - I wanted a combination of direct drive, 78 RPM, and a wide-range pitch control.2 - I couldn't afford to spend much money.

Hello Arthur,Yeah its new. There are 2 versions of Maschine. The MK1 and MKII. This is the original MK1 version. Its the same one I have, and is pretty similar to the MKII version besides a few variations on the knob setup on the hardware. If you get this version just be sure to get your free update from Native Instruments. The new update has Massive, which is pretty sweet. Good luck and don't have any second thoughts about buying one of these. Maschine is the all in one answer.

The tuning hardware is very high quality, so the tuning stay for a long time. This is one of the best model out there for the price, should get it and enjoy.

I believe a friend of mine did what you are trying to do. However, I never owned a 310 so I can't say for sure. Sorry.

Both look very similar. I have not heard the PL-200 so I cannot speak to it, however, spec-wise seems like it would be sound close to the same as the PSW505. One feature on the PSW505 that I really like it the auto-shutoff and startup. I (more my wife) don't have to worry about turning the sub off and on when I turn on the receiever. I have my PSW505 in a normal sized living room and it sounds great and if I were to buy again, I would buy the same. Hopefully that helps.

There is another version of this model with covered pickups and black knobs, available now through Amazon. Apparently, different OE30 sellers on this site offer different versions.

They look the same. The descriptions are the same for both. Unless the wattage is different on the 3106Q from that in the Featherweight I'd say they're identical.

I did not give a bad review to this unit ,however many people may not like the few changes from model to model ,I had the previous professional models and this one is much better so I am happy with this one.
