    Just a word, I'm sure you already know this OP, but it would cost quite a bit to send a vintage receiver in the mail due to weight. There's also the matter of inheriting aged electronics which might require you to 1) know how to swap out those parts on your own 2) know a good shop that can help.
    A few years back I got all enamored with vintage receivers myself, went out and bought an old 70s something for like $100, brought it back, and a few days later the tubes fried along with the circuit board and I couldn't find a soul to fix it. That was it for me. I saved up for a few years and bought a Marantz and I can tell you it BLOWS away whatever 'vintage' sound that other one had, or any modern receiver I'd had to date.

    Also, speakers are, IMHO, where it's really at. A good pair of B&Ws would knock your socks off.

    I'm not looking that old, no tubes .I'm looking at 70's.

    Not sure where you live, but you might want to check out the thrift shops. Places like Savers, Salvation Army, VOA, Veteran's shops--they often have old equipment. If you're serious about finding some good stuff, and money to ship isn't a huge concern, contact The Record Archive. They stock a pretty regular selection of older hi-fi. I was just there a few days ago and had to wipe the drool off a very vintage McIntosh receiver.
