what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.

In my search for a HIFI sound i never found a power amp that let me think: this is it!!! Recently i buy a vintage power amp paid for rebuild and i'm NOT happy with is sound,it put deception on my heart same if he has only 70h of burn in... I do'nt ear the amp before to buy.

My humble question to the big Audiogon fan,will be what
is the best classic SS power amp to buy and rebuild under $1200.

I love dance, rock, classical any kind of music. I wish to
found a power amp that after the rebuild i will SAID OF MY
GOD WHAT A WONDERFULL POWER AMP...This is it!!!

"Best" and $1200 doesn't exist.

I think he thinks he's going to get something better than anything else for $1200.

Personally, I would find a person who is qualified to rebuild an amplifier and discuss it with them. No sense buying some old non-working amp and not being able to find someone to rebuild it. Unless you have someone local, I think it's not a very good idea anyway. Look what happened the last time - some guy rebuilt an amp for you and it came back with a hum. Now you have to ship some 100 pound amp back? My advice - absent a local tech, forget the idea and just buy something new that you can live with. If you're really that picky about sound, get your wallet out and forget about $1200.
