The old stuff sounds very good once it has been gone through and rebuilt. These things are 20 to 50 years old. When someobody is advertising a Dynaco SCA35 for 200 with the description of "original, looks good, works fine, sold as is" you should expect it will require new tubes and components (caps, resistors, wiring) as well as a general cleaning. Expect to put at least 250 into any of the older tube stuff.
Good stuff when rebuilt with modern parts. The Pilot receiver for sale right now is a good example of something that would sound good and be useful and it has already been gone through.
