Regarding the price, it's about 500, seem cheap as most amplifier is sucking my blood out From most integrated amplifiers I have surveyed, all so expensive  , i prefer something size and feature as light as O2 amp  You might need to compete with me because I'm also eyeing on it

Anything old needs some attention or restoration work for another lease of life. If can DIY, it'll be cheaper, otherwise factor in another expense for restoration. These amplifiers use phenolic material PCB, can easily be damaged if not careful with soldering skill. My 2 sen. P.S. Just checked the schematic, headphone output tapped from speaker line.  Been reading up on vintage amplifiers, turns out it's common practice to do that.
