Maybe you can buy it from him.

I haven't really made up my mind to get this stereo yet. Let me see if this stereo is still for sale on "half price day" I don't have alot of room and money. and it is heavy. It might be better to hold out for a better brand with multiplex already built in.

If the unit is still available, it's worth considering. If it's built by Wells Gardner and has SE 7868's it should be OK. The 7868 is RCA's answer to the Westinghouse 7591, a little better than a 6V6, but not quite a 6L6. Should be around 8WPC.
Some of those private label products were amazing!
