How to read these prices
Working means the unit powers on, plays through all inputs, and the tuner locks. Cosmetic wear, scratchy controls, and dead dial lamps are normal at this age and don't push a unit out of the working category. A receiver listed as "powers on" with no further detail is worth considerably less than a tested, working unit.
Restored means the electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, the controls have been cleaned, and the unit has been tested and adjusted by a technician. A proper recap costs $200 to $400 for most receivers. On a $2,000 receiver that math usually works. On a $200 receiver it usually doesn't.
The spread between working and restored price varies by model. On a Marantz 2270 it's often $400 to $600. On a Pioneer SX-1250 it can be $1,000 or more because professionally restored examples are genuinely rare.
Why prices vary so much
Condition drives more price variation than most people expect. Two Marantz 2270s listed the same week can be $500 apart. One has a clean faceplate, original knobs, and a working dial lamp. The other has a bent dial pointer and a missing input selector knob. Both technically work. The market prices them very differently.
Season matters too. Prices tick up in fall and winter when people set up audio systems. Summer listings tend to run cheaper. If you're buying, summer is the better time. If you're selling, hold until October.
