Recommend a used vintage receiver for under $100?

I gave my grandson one of those Dayton amps listed above. For the money it is a very nice little amp. If you don't need a lot of inputs or features it might be the way to go.

"Vintage for less than $100"... I see the likelihood of frustration and disappointment with what that budget is going to get you. The "first" repair will probably cost more than the receiver/integrated alone.

I like what Onhwy61 suggested but if she has to have vintage, and that's pretty cool, then good luck.

The Dayton listed above is shockingly good.

Someone just posted a really nice Nakamichi receiver here on Audiogon. I was a Nak dealer for many years and these are incredible sounding units.

I am not affiliated with this seller in any way. Just wanted to point out a nice piece of gear.

Rather than go the vintage route I would suggest something like this. It comes with a warranty and you don't have to worry about bad caps or noisy caps.

Might be able to find a decent Toshiba SA-725/750 for around $100.

Check for NAD or Rotel gear.

Craigslist. Technics, Pioneer etc. Google it for user opinions.
