A nice looking Marantz 2325 just sold on AudioKarma.org for $500 with a wood case.  Recapped too in all the critical places.
 
The seller is a now former buddy of mine that neglected to tell me it was for sale.  

 

[Rawrbington]

wow.
thats a nice price too.
ive seen the 2325 go for upwards of 700+ on ePay

I've purchased from Jeff and he is a good man. Not sure he is into shipping but you could always ask. He's sold 3 sx 950 in the last few months.

 

[Rawrbington]

think he'd ship?

 

[claybum]

I know he has sold audio equipment on ebay. So it's possible.

 

[Rawrbington]

call me crazy but i feel like i'd trust that guy over some of the people selling some of them on ebay.  i think a lot of them find them at storage auctions and estate/garage sales.  spend 2 seconds with them and then put them on ebay listed as "near mint!".
 
i'd prefer to find the stuff local for obvious reasons but the only guy around here that deals with the vintage stuff only seems to have marantz for the most part.  and i want a pioneer

 

[claybum]

Jeff is definitely an audio guy.

 

[Rawrbington]

awesome clayburn.
talked to him on the phone.
said he'd ship.
he's gonna come up with a total and call me back tomorrow so i can decide for sure if i want to spend the money.
seems like a great guy.  the kind of guy i WANT to buy something like this from.
i really appreciate the heads up!

For ultra-vintage, check this beauty, a 40-watt tubed integrated amp:
 

 
Not mine - somebody's had it for sale in the amps section here for about half a year now. Great price too, if it sounds good; I'm not familiar with Stromberg-Carlson. No headphone section, though: You'd have to wire up your own adaptor.
 
Only downside I can see is it's got the most awkward input section I've ever seen.
 
(Disclaimer: I don't know the seller and have had no communications with him. I happened across it and thought it was of interest here.)

Hi Art,
I remember the brand back when i was a kid in the 60s and 70s. I remember they used to produce those old all integrated consoles that had AM,FM,Turntable,tube amplification and speakers all in a big piece of furniture.
Something like this:

You were needing to lift a lid to get to the turntable and open the middle doors to see the faceplate of the controls.
 
I thought they sounded good but I was just a little kid so how knows to today standards.
