Is this combo worth $75?

Found a local CL ad for a Pioneer SX-450 receiver & Pioneer PL-112D TT. The seller is wanting $75 firm. Would this be worth it?

To keep yes, to flip not so much.

If they work, yes.

Nice amp, but only 15 watts. You'll need sensitive speakers.

I'm more interested in the turn table for my tube amp, but the receiver would probably go in the bed side table I'm building.

Perfect. Maybe a couple 5" full ranges with a transmission line built into the headboard?

though about that, or I have sketched out plans for a platform style bed with built in speakers or maybe some sound exciters under some black or frosted glass (this is less likely though).

The only problem with headboard speakers is L/R changes if you are a stomach or a back sleeper.

Sounds pricey to me. The receiver is entry level (not bad, but nothing special, either) at 15 wpc. The turntable is likewise entry level, and not as well built as the earlier generation of low-end Pioneer tt (i.e., PL-10/12/15).
