The 2100 is an attractive tuner that somewhat resembles the 2130 cosmetically, but it only has 3 gangs and 3 filters so its performance is not comparable. The 2100 has only one IF setting and has poor adjacent channel selectivity in stock form because its stock filters are very wide. Our panelist Eric also noted rolled-off highs. In short, buy it for looks, not performance. Many people who presumably have not read this page seem to think that the 2100 is a better tuner than it is, and will drastically overpay for it: it occasionally sells for up to $200, and one mint 2100 sold for an astounding $355 in 6/03. Two crazed bidders ran one up from $40 to $280 in 11/04. More savvy buyers with a little patience, recognizing that the 2100 is extremely common, can easily find one for $100 or less on eBay (with a low of $20 in 12/04). Expect to pay more, up to around $150, for a 2100 with the rare rack handles.
