Is a HK TA-230 worth the cost of restoring

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I have a friend that has one. But I figure even if he does the work himself it's going to end up costing around $300+. He's not really a tube person. He just ended up with this receiver.

He also has a vintage SS piece that he uses daily and is his permanent stereo. My advice to him was not spend the $300+ on a stereo that he will in the end will not be very impressed with. And instead use the money to have his permanent aging stereo professionally restored with new caps, relays and brought back up to spec.

Opinions?
