This will give away my age. While in college in 1966 I built ST-70, PAS-3, and FM-3 Dynakits, to go with AR-4 speakers and a Dual 1009 w/ Empire cartridge. That system might be MOR today but at that time it was not far below Macs and Marantz.

Actually I expect with appropriate maintenance and new tubes it would still be quite musically satisfying today.
