Cheap Old Preamps

I'm helping a friend look for a cheap (under 100$) old (tubed would be great but not necessary) preamp, and was wondering if you all had some ideas for what to look for (probably on eBay). I've been tracking some Dynacos, but the tube ones tend to exceed our budget. Are the SS daynaco preamps just sucky? His sources include an AR/XA TT and a really old Cambridge CDP. Amplification is a 40 wpc (I think) SS McIntosh amp (model unknown). Thanks.

ps audio IV preamp. has all the bells and whistles.
ps audio quality throughout.
It includes a separate power supply,
It also has a built in MM/MC phono stage.
You can use this preamp in active or passive mode.
You will not find a better sounding preamp with a phono section for this price.
If you enjoy vinyl you will be extremely happy with this unit.
The passive mode allows you to really get a feel for what your equipment can do.
