Greetings all. I was lucky the other day at Goodwill and picked up a Harmon/Kardon 430 Twin Powered for $40!
Testing showed a dead channel so I fired up the scope and traced the problem to the stereo/mono switch. I cleaned the switch and I've been enjoying it in my little shop ever since. It sounds very clean and neutral on the speakers I used, JBL 2600, Axiom and DCM. Quite surprising volume and no observed clipping one the scope.
The lights all work. I really don't think it was used much as the interior was quite clean (cleaner now, though), the black vinyl coating on the cover is perfect. It does have a couple of scratches on the dial glass, but they disappear at over two feet with my eyes.

Any idea how much it's worth?
