Sansui au 919 Restoration Kit Thoughts

Question for those who know more (about) techs than I do. Would a good tech order a rebuild kit rather than sourcing the parts from Mouser, DigiKey, etc. themselves?

I believe a good tech will have most of the components in stock and will get any others needed from Mouser, Digikey, etc.
 
The seller ordered the kit not the tech in this case. I think it just made sense to use the kit since it was already paid for. At least that's my understanding.
On my first Sansui I ordered the parts to do it myself. Got cold feet after starting and looked up a local tech to do the install. Tech turned down the work as the units, 5000a, had a bad history. After working up the courage I ultimately finished the job, even going further than originally intended. End result is I am glad the tech turned down the job.
