Normally a turret tuner is better cause you could service them
much easier than a wafer switch job. Problem was if the plastic
failed on a strip & you forced it to turn it was like making hamburger.
Not the end of the world if you got a junk tuner to pull the strips from.
Funny thing is other brands used the same tuner but it was a GE
problem. Probably heat related.
Portacolors are strange animals kinda like a Studebaker, you either
love them or hate them, no middle ground........
BTW I love Stude's

Ha Ha 73 Zeno,
I also love Studes. I've been a member of the Studebaker Driver's Club since 1971. I've owned and restored several Studebakers.
And Electronic M,
Thanks for the offer of the Portacolor tuners. Unfortunately that set was tossed many many years ago.
