(1978-?)

The Nikko FAM-450 is a vintage AM/FM stereo tuner produced by Nikko Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, beginning in 1978. Designed to pair with Nikko’s respected amplifiers and receivers from the late 1970s and early 1980s, the FAM-450 features classic analog tuning and a clean, straightforward layout. Housed in an attractive wooden case, it offers both FM and MW (AM) reception with clear signal strength indicators and a warm, vintage aesthetic. The FAM-450 is well-regarded among vintage audio enthusiasts for its reliable performance, solid Japanese build quality, and understated styling—making it a sought-after component for collectors and those looking to build a classic hi-fi system.
