I happen to prefer the sound tube and early SS gear with no B class or below amplification to be found, and the FM and 8-track sections on the unit I was testing today sounded better then most newer car stereos I've heard with 70's Sony home speakers connected to it. My issue is that without a schematic trouble shooting goes from being a ~1 hour task to Russian Roulette (ie I'm just as likely to totally ruin it as fix it when working blind).
I'm glad most out there are still working good. If I was to plop down more than 20$ on a stereo I'd just buy another period unit with quad-8 track...Only in working condition or at least the same unit with different issues to let me compare voltages and find the problem.
