I have never seen on piece of Mac gear, tubed, transistor, trashed or otherwise in a thrift store or yard sale. I know it's around, because Myer Emco, where I worked at one time, sold it for decades. I have had amazing luck, but never with Mac.
Those Celestion SL6si are amazing speakers. I hope you kept them. Some things are worth a lot of money because they truly are valuable. That is one of the few speakers that could displace my Spendor BC-1's. When you have a speaker like that, it can make you very lazy about listening to anything else!

I found it at a church tag sale underneath some other junk. It turns out that it belonged to the pastor. The nuns convinced him to sell it as one of the few "big ticket" items of the sale. It was missing two of the front pushbuttons, but I ordered them from AudioClassics.com for $4.00 each.
I really didn't expect it to work when I got it home but it powered up no problem and sounded excellent! It's driving the Celestions now and it's a magical combination. Those were found at a liquidation sale along with a Denon DRA-465R receiver and a Denon CD player (don't recall the model) for $40.00 total.
That was a good year.
