"Anyone continue with the practice of "salvaging" is either got more money than sense or just "out of the loop"."
Really? How about 40- or 50-year-old integrated amps with worn out pots and switches that can't be replaced, faceplates faded and scratched, and virtually every part needing replacement, including NLA capacitor cans, riveted-in tube sockets and banks of rear-panel jacks? Then there are those awful tone control PECs, sub-optimal bias designs and phono preamps that by modern standards bordered on "defective" even when they were in new working condition. Gimme a break. Anyone who strips this iron and uses it to create a modern, high performance system has done the audio world a favor.
