Someone has the 55 wpc Tandberg from the 70s for sale on the Hartford CT CL. $150. Apparently working well, and the picture suggests its in nice shape. I got savaged when I made some comments about Tandberg, and their lack of mass market success, so I'm just pointing out its there.
No affiliation (with the reciever or the $150 needed to pick it up, alas)

Savaged? My recollection was it was a reasonably pleasant discussion, unless you're talking about a different thread than the one I recall.

$150 is a reasonably good price for this receiver, if it's cosmetically sound and producing sound.

The 'discussion' seemed fairly heated to me, so I must be referring to a different thread, or maybe I took it more seriously than it was intended. It was the thread about why Tandbergs aren't more common, and the point of contention was whether the rather full interior of Tandbergs made them run hotter than the average full of air receiver. This turned out to be a vigorously disputed suggestion.
 
Same thread, so I guess it was taken quite differently at my end than yours. My apologies for any implied hostility or defensiveness, that was definitely not intended. Safe to say that I am generally pretty enthusiastic about Tandberg equipment (with some specific model exceptions), and that your experience has been different. I'm ok with that!

Cheers,

Hey -- I really liked the aspects of the Tandberg I had that worked. It was just that it was so complicated that I gave up. Complexity is an issue for servicing, particularly if the person servicing the equipment isn't used to it.
But I posted a note of the listing because I thought it might be a good deal for someone.
 
This particular model you posted the link for - the TR 2055 - is super easy to work on. I've rebuilt two or three of them in the past several months and have another one waiting to get on the bench. It shares the same construction as the larger 2075, just lower output.
