Eico ST-70 integrated amp

Hi,

A buddy of mine offered me his Eico ST-70 before he tries to sell it.  It appears stock, it works (including the phono section).  The rotary controls are a little noisy, and it sounds really nice. It's pretty clean considering it's age, and it weighs a TON!

I think the unit is very cool, and I was thinking of getting it for a guest bedroom/study.  So I have a few questions.

Do you all think this is worth pursuing? 

How good is this unit?  

What would be a fair offer?

Thanks.

Thanks.
CE had a couple, one that that looks reasonably like the original, but the temp rating is way below the originals.  They had a JJ Electronics one that specs better, but needs a clamp mount.

I seem to remember an old saying something about keeping one hand behind your back at all times when working with tube amps.

The filter caps look original, they're Spraigue.
It looks like filter caps with similar specs can be had for around $40 each.  Same uFD rating, slightly higher voltage rating.

Maybe I'll give it a shot, I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron.
