Looking for something from the likes of Marantz, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sansui etc. My budget is around $50. I need something that would be a good match for my 5jr+ series 2 speakers. Located in Elko, NV 89801. Thanks.

Local sales. Thrift stores and the like. Pawn shops are great sometimes!
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
For $50, you could get something like an 80’s era Technics SU model... not good, but not bad. I should know, I had (still have) one.
-
Look for JVC... Underrated and under priced for a Japanese built piece. They don't get the spotlight like the others you've listed...
NAD comes to mind as well... -
You need to clarify what you're looking for. When I hear those brands & years, I think receiver, not amp.
-
While it sounds laughable to suggest this, triple your budget and look for a Mitsubishi DA series amplifier.
If looking at receivers, look at something like the Sherwood RX-4109 as it easily falls in your budget and offers surprising amounts of SQ for the money.
And some extra speakers to go with it

I found a Technics SA-828 along with a JVC SEA-10 standalone EQ for $40 locally.

Looks like you got just what you wanted.

Awesome! Now, sit back, and enjoy! -

Don't worry about using the JVC EQ unless there's an odd hump in the room that needs quelled. -
I'd probably omit the "unless..." qualifier altogether, but that's just me
(I.e., I am one of those jaspers with the strongly held opinion that parametric equalizers generally do more harm than good -- but some folks do like them)

I can't argue that.
