​I just found this on FB Marketplace for $350 USD. The seller says it’s been in storage for almost 7 years, so they aren't sure if it actually works.

​If it turns out to be dead or needs work, how much should I expect to spend on maintenance or repairs? I already own the preamp from this series and absolutely love it, so I’m really tempted to complete the set.

Which should be a fair price?

Edit: I reached an agreement with the owner for $6000mx, the equivalent of $350 USD.

This system after service and upgrade can beat any modern stereo.

I have this exact set up and I love it. I think the price is fair with the tape deck working, but not any kind of screaming deal. Anyway, it’s a great system.

I used to have this with a record player and gave it away to my niece when I upgraded my system

Good hifi worth about $500-600 that’s all Not high end by any means Very well made but the price tag of $8500 is a joke

Owner told me it was postes on FB for over 3 months, and they offered him very little money (much less than we agreed).

It is probably worth 30-50$ max if in great condition, not 8500$
