Does he know they go for $3k+ these days?My old man used to have that old Pioneer amp. When I got my classic high end turn table I asked him if he still had it. He had just thrown it away. I loved that thing growing up. Old man has owned about three nice things his whole life, he's tossed them all away.
I really only need 150W x 2 @ 8 ohms, but that was a model I lusted after for about half my life. I just love the sound of a tube amp pushing good speakers.
