My TA-500 turned me into a fanboy so I've been hunting for an upgrade. Well, I couldn't pass up this AU-7900 on that auction site, of all places. Seller said it was untested and the description of how it was used and stored was a bit concerning, but I decided it was worth a gamble.
I got it today and tested it before cleaning by listening briefly to a record. Worked fine, not even a scratchy pot. It was just dirty, inside and out. I just finished cleaning it, and giving the pots and switches a de-oxit bath. Tomorrow evening I'll check the DC offset and the rest of the functions.
See here for Before Pics.
