I have one of there in similar looking condition, but never was able to make it work. The one thing I don't like is the lack of inputs. Yeah, tuner, tape, phono, aux, is about it. If you have multiple tape or CD (iPod?) you are out of luck. In the same era, a silver faced Dynaco preamp had several more inputs for only $100 or so, with similar audio specs. I also have the matching Spec-2 amp. That kicks ass!
