Depending on the condition of the mac amps,the value of the macs are going to exponentially higher than a new production integrated amp..
The mc30s are excellent amps and have excellent resolution if you rebuild them properly with new filtering and selected coupling caps and resistors and using the 6cg7 phase inverter..Whats nice about mac mc30s and mc60s is you can put motor run caps in underneath without drilling holes or making chasis alterations because of the generouus room it has.This way the amps look original while maintaining a pure updated sound.
If the mc30s you are looking at our in rough shape,then I wouldnt do it but if the 30s are clean,go for it as you can always build a set amp.
If the power supply waveform isn't pretty,neither is the sound in most cases.
