You could contact dese guys. Don't know if they will have one for sale or if it will fit the budget.

They do seem quite proud of their service, as restoration runs ~$400, not including parts.

 

What is the average cost of restoration?

  • ::Stages of restoration and cost::
  • First: The amp is thoroughly cleaned (that includes removing Sony bonding glue). 
  • Second: Speaker terminal conversion. All old speaker terminals are removed and replaced with new 5-way terminals.
  • Third: All pots are checked and lubed. Amp then brought up to normal operating temperature and output millivolts are adjusted to factory specs. Class A-B millivolts are checked and adjusted; Class A millivolts are checked and adjusted. Amp is then placed on power amplifier analyzer and checked for total output watts and distortion levels.
  • Forth: We replace all the incandescent bulbs with LEDs. Meters are tested and properly adjusted
  • Fifth: Adjust millivolt output. 
  • Sixth: We replace the speaker terminals with heavy duty five-way binding posts. 
  • Seventh: Exterior surfaces are reconditioned/painted. Glass is replaced/restored.
  • This above is a minimum requirement for us to accept the amp for restoration. The total for the above items (excluding capacitors, transistors, resistors) is $397.50, plus shipping. THIS IS ASSUMING THE AMP IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
  • The amp is then checked for any weak components. The above cost does NOT include any weak capacitors, transistors, or resistors found. The cost of any replacement part is approximately $26 a piece (that price includes labor).
