The JVC AX-A441 is very nice if you can find one. Excellent MM/MC stage and plenty of power.

Cheers, Geoff. That's not one I'd heard of. I like "sleepers"

I get a little upset when I see what is really nice hifi in such a bad condition. What do some people do to thier stuff? No issues against tweaking or modifications, but some stuff just looks abused.

With that generation of Sugden amps, wear and tear is unavoidable because the finish aged badly and became rather fragile, so it marked at the silghtest excuse.
