My dad had a pair of mono blocks a few years ago that he had purchased used.
One of the mono blocks stopped working, after sending the unit back to pass labs, they determined a transformer had gone bad. One they determined that, they decided that the unit should have lasted longer and fixed it for free. My dad paid freight both ways, stellar products and great customer service.
Speaking of this beautiful rehab of an SA-5200, I rather literally stumbled across this looking for something else entirely in the 1974 Teledyne Olson catalog
Mark, it's an SA-500 and TX-500, but I like the look of those 5200's.

If we can't help you blow large chunks of cash on frivolous expenditures like audio, then this thread is just a waste of our time.

Dang! I knew that, too! Sorry.
Brain infarct.
An SA-5200 passed through here many years back; adorable little amplifier (as is that SA-500, perhaps even moreso).
in that price range you have to start with the evolution 845 or maybe the compact 845
