Vintage Audio & Synth Standard Valuation: Signed Report
What your receiver, tube amp, turntable, or synth is worth, with the comps that prove it.
The signed verdict: what you get
- VALUE AS-ISA defensible number for the machine exactly as it sits today, in its current condition.
- VALUE RESTOREDWhat it would be worth done properly, and what “properly” means for this model.
- COST TO RESTOREParts, labor and the jobs that always cost more than people expect.
- THE VERDICTRestore, sell as-is, or walk away. Stated plainly, with the reasoning.
- COMPS USEDReal sold results, listed and dated. Asking prices are not comps.
- TURNAROUNDWithin 72 hours of a complete intake, as a signed PDF.
Receivers, turntables, tape decks, analog synths and drum machines. What yours is actually worth, checked against real sold results rather than the asking prices you see on the forums.
- Identification and dating of your exact unit, with the method shown
- Market value range from 3 to 6 real, linked comparables, six months old or newer
- Condition and revision analysis: recap and tube status, board revision, mods, with value stated per condition tier
- Confidence level, and what would raise it
INTAKE: SERIAL PLATE, ALL PANELS, INTERNALS IF ACCESSIBLE, AND ANY MODS.
Full refund if I cannot identify your unit to at least medium confidence. Every report is an informed estimate, not a formal appraisal and not a safety inspection. Five reports a week is the cap. If I am booked, your slot is next week and I will say so.
