I probably should not be looking at vintage stereo receivers on eBay, but the brushed silver faceplates, wood-grain enclosures, and amber- and green-lit analog meters are just so pleasing.
Plus, this sort of equipment reminds me of wandering the TV and stereo departments of mall stores when I was a kid.
Sadly, this kind of stuff is harder to justify than the row of old typewriters sitting on the shelf in my home office. At least with those, I can get some actual use out of all of them.
