Hi Rick,

Yes, I totally understand. I forgot to mention to Sam that he should check out http://www.audiogon.com as well as ebay for vintage power amplifiers. I just checked out audiogon and indeed there is an Onkyo Grand Integra M510 for sale, asking $5000, so it appears to have held its value very well.

Others from that era with big meters include Accuphase and McIntosh monoblocs. Carver had several stereo power amps with little round VU meters, rather quaint. I still liked them.
