Understanding the market

Half of recorded transactions fall between $275 and $300. The full range runs 2.3× from lowest to highest, which is normal for used equipment where condition, included accessories, and service history vary between units.

What buyers should know

Vintage receivers are usually sold as-is. Ask directly whether the unit has been recapped, whether the lamps and switches work, and whether all inputs and the tuner section have been tested. Original wood cases and faceplates in good condition carry a real premium.

This range reflects 9 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
