So many variables ...

Are the pots scratchy ?

How is the condition of the front panel

Condition of internals (capacitors esp)

Recently serviced ? Known tech

 

Dragging through GumTree, EBay, HiFiShark and of course SNA will give you a an idea

Haven't been services, all i know is it didnt get use much from previous owner who bought it new, and i didnt use it much either, front panel is excellent and overall great condition.

@The Fez might have some thoughts on pricing ?

Well .. its quite rare but well known. Ive attached the bluebook valuation which shows that its pretty stable in its value.

I would guess if you put it up for $500 and was in good working condition it would sell reasonably well. It is only 50w which will exclude some markets.

Since 50% of hifi is really about asthetics .. vintage is cool and has the wood panels which adds to the appeal. Quick sale $400, slow and painful $600+ but reckon something starting with a $5xx is probably on the mark.
Depends if the individual believes that rare is good, or rare is bad (spares and repairs).

To be honest, I haven't really listened to it properly with my tt setup, should try it and hear, I might keep it for my vintage setup with my sansui TT [emoji4]
