I abandoned old integrated amps long ago in favor of straight power amps. The former can't be fully restored because the pots and switches are NLA. And even if you could miraculously find a stash of all those old controls, the sonics of most old integrated amps weren't generally up to modern high-end standards, even when they were new. They're nice to look at, but I prefer to listen. I'll leave it to others to create the museum. :)
