Vintage receivers???

Agree on the prices.........many of the better vintage receivers sell for as much or MORE now than they did new. I guess what was good, still is, and people will pay for it...............I don't mind that part, but I'd hate to drop good $$$ on a 30-40-50 year old unit and have to dump a bunch more into repairs and rehab.................Might be less aggravation and less expensive to go with something more recent :(

I'll keep looking, might find a prize!!

I really like my Marantz 2252B, works and sounds great. My biggest gripe is the speaker cable connection to the rear of the classic receivers, back in the day when we only used zip cord that was fine but times and technology have changed. I hate the thought of shipping it to someone to convert the speaker cable hook up to five-way binding posts.

Here is a link to a guy in my area, I don't know him, but I know of him and has a reputation of doing excellent work. He completely rebuilds vintage gear and offers them for sale when completed. I have contacted him and he is going to rebuild my Marantz 1060 this fall. Also, check out his sold listings.

If you can find a 70s vintage Sherwood, run, don't walk, to get it.

For my money, I’d opt for the integrated. Is there really anything on FM worth listening to these days? Try XM radio and you will likely never go back to FM. YMMV!
