Am looking into picking up a vintage receiver. Will likely buy online or from a yard sale, but am looking into HK-930 (generally enough inputs to attach all modern gear, with good sound based on opinions of other inmates). Will use with my own in-home speakers (vintage 1978 Marantz, since re-coned) for when I want the sound that I want, and can connect to a Sonos or similar for "good enough" audio on the porch or in the yard or wherever when I want background sound. Receiver likely will need upgrades/recapping, etc, since the unit will be 40-50 years old, and chances aren't that I'll get one already revived. Where can I find someone reputable, but not stupid expensive, to refurbish a unit when I do buy one? If you can't suggest a specific someone, what questions should I ask of repair shops to see if they'll be able to do the job at a level of quality I'd like? |

That's definitely "cute". :>) Mark, do you think something from Edcor's GXE line, as the O/P "iron", would do better than Hammond's "universal" replacement 125E?
