Purchasing barely used NAD gear

I have the option to purchase some used NAD gear.   $575 Lightly used and hasn't been used in 25 years.  What kind of issues might I expect to encounter with gear this age.  It looks brand new.   I'm not as tech savvy as some of you fine folks! Stereo Preamplifier 1155, Stereo Power Amplifier 2200 Power Envelope, Stereo Tuner 4130

I wouldn't do it. Recapping is a drag you don't need and won't want to do. Seek out other avenues.

Thanks guys.  Recapping is not something I have the skills to do.  Would the law of a diminishing return come into play here?  If it's spendy,  I don't see the point.  I'm not a rich guy LoL

Well, that is pretty inexpensive. NAD gear was great for the money. I actually have given my integrated amp to a friend of mine that is 35 years old and it bested his inexpensive contemporary stuff… not recapped. 
 

Honestly at that price, as long as it works and sounds good to you, sounds like a bargain to me.

Time - cost - quality - risk.
