Thoughts on vintage Accuphase

Bought the P300, C200 and T100 as a group from (used electronics retailer) Thompson's Electronics in Eugene, OR in about 1996 for $900.  Smokin' deal.  Learned that the trio was on consignment from David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester from M*A*S*H).  Was mostly interested in the (legendary) T100 tuner, however, the P300 was excellent; smooth, powerful and surpisingingly detailed.  Drove Acoustat 2+2's beautifully.  The C200 was unimpressive; sold it fairly quickly.  Kept the P300 for about 5 years.  Know you didn't ask about the T100, but kept the T100 for about 20 years; it's a great tuner.   

On a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of performance for what it is, where the T100 is a 10, I'd place the P300 at an 8 and the C200 at 4.

Have no idea what these things are selling for these days, but I'd think it a good buy at $1-1.2K for a good example of a P300 and wouldn't want a C200 at all, but can imagine others being happy with it in the $200-$300 range.

Appreciate the responses. The buyer is asking for $3000 for the combo. As much as I would like to explore vintage, this doesn't make sense. It's so much out of the ballpark that I don't know how to even begin negotiating. Lol!

What I'd like to know is how much of the sound characteristics are common between the newer Accuphase vs the really old ones.

 Many moons ago I owned both the C200 and the P300. Not my cup of tea. Don’t forget that those are close to 50 years old. I think you are better off spending your greenbacks on something brand new! BTW, I own those Harbeths!

I owned an E202 and T101 for 35 plus years.  Still have the T101, Great Tuner but doesn't get a lot of use these days.  Never had any problems with the E202.  While it was an integrated amp, you could also use it either as an amp only or pre-amp only.  Paired with double Advents, then Ohms and finally Polk RTA12's.  Can't speak to the equipment you are looking at but I never had any issues with mine over all those years.  Was pleased with the sound and found that changing the cabling had the biggest impact.

I've been perusing local ads for vintage equipment, but my god, either the sellers are deluded or there really is a market where people are willing to pay more money for a 30 years-old unit compared to an equivalent new (or new'ish) one. I'm not trying to suggest that vintage does not measure up, but they have to perform significantly better to warrant such high asking prices. I'm pretty much done considering vintage :(
