Wow that is really nice that you have so much quality audio gear around you in good shape and at fair prices. I'd probably have a basement and garage full of vintage gear if I lived by you. I saw some pics and that Sony V-Fet is quite the piece of vintage gear. If funds and time permitting I say let that expert restore it. It could be worth the 18+ month wait. You would maybe then have to change the name of your system though. ;)
Really Nice. I can't believe you found such nice stuff in good condition on Craigslist. That and the pricing wasn't bad either. By me a lot of audio gear is in bad condition and WAY over-priced. My guess is the sellers are pricing high to ward off the low-ballers but man oh man sometimes the prices charged for older gear makes you just want to look away. Did any of it require any repair or maintenance?
