Every garage has a place to plug stuff in. So, take the stuff into the garage, plug it in, connect the 'phones and see if it works. That's what I do.
If its a turntable, at least make sure it spins. I won't buy any tapedeck I can't listen to first. A power amp has to at least light up, same goes for a tuner ...and I check to see if bulbs are out.
I've never yet been told "no" when I ask if I can plug something in before I buy it.
Picked up a Marantz 2230B last week for $2 !!! Three bulbs out, otherwise perfect.
