    Sansui AU-11000 restore extent?

    Picked up an AU-11000 for $200, complete and working. Aside from some dirty switch contacts, it has a boatload of A726's and C1313's that are doing their usual tricks. Is this particular model worthy of a full-boat restoration, or just fix what's broken? I have fully restored an AU-999 and an...

    Klipsch Tangent 50 Value

    Hi everyone, I'm wondering what a decent price would be for Klipsch Tangent 50s in good condition. I've found some numbers online elsewhere, but most of those posts are from more than a decade ago, when vintage audio was generally cheaper. I'm looking at a pair for $250 and am wondering if...

    McIntosh MC-225 and C-11 Combo Value

    Looking at a combo set but no idea what a decent offer would be. What would this combo value be? All tubes intact, manuals, previous service records back to mid-80's. No idea of current value. Look like a solid 8/10 in appearance for both. Any guidance would be great! Thanks!

    Klipsch R-620F, $500 for a pair, good deal?

    Looking at getting tower speakers with a budget of around $400-500. How’s this deal? Any recommendations for others within the price range? Or if it’s outside of my budget, is it a marked enough improvement to be worth it?

    I see these threads all the time. You know, how much is my gear worth? I see a new one this morning actually.

    Ohm Walsh 4 modern worth?

    I found a local fellow selling a pair of Ohm Walsh 4s, lowest he's willing to go is $1350 Canadian, which is 1070 USD approximately. He is the original owner, he's replaced the covers and they were refoamed through a local shop last year. I'm curious to own a pair of Ohms after hearing nothing...

    Moderate price MC cart suggestions

    I have recently refurbished a Pioneer PL50 turntable. New (correct) belt, new thrust bearing, clean and lubricate, etc. I have other tables designed for high compliance carts, but I understand this table with it's original arm, would be considered mid mass, so a MC cart might match up well-but...

I didn't know if this has a value because I've never seen one sell or what it could be best utilized for if anything. It turns on and worked okay...
