I'll do my best to help you with the value of your gear. Disclaimer - Pricing vintage gear is always a best-guess scenario. I'll provide my estimate based on what I believe would be fair market value and a good place to put a reserve price if I were to try to sell on eBay. Please use my price quotes as a guide and not a point of dispute with a potential buyer. Your experience has probably taught you the same things I've learned when it comes to appraising audio gear - it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Collectors with deep pockets will pay whatever they can to win an auction, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the value of that piece of gear has risen.

Can't beat that price!
Manufactured 1977-1979, MSRP of $290. Currently worth about $75 in good condition. I like the design; looks a lot like my Luxman of the same era. Should sound just fine. . .
How DOES it sound?

i have it hooked up to an old pair of fisher speakers i found in my basement
it had apperently been in this guys basement for the last 15 years, and there was only a little static in the volume knob
everything else was clean
