Buying a Vintage Mcintosh: Tips?

I found a local seller that is offering a Mcintosh MC-7300 (released 1991, 300w x 2). I have seen the pictures and the amplifier looks to be in great shape. That said, when purchasing a vintage amplifier, what are some of the things to look for in order to minimize the chance of buying a lemon?

Your comments are much appreciated.

Thanks.

If I were in the market for a vintage piece, I would start by looking for a product with a proven track record like McIntosh. The second step would be the availability of qualified technicians, parts etc. to modify or repair the piece should the need ariseĀ…again McIntosh. I am not technically trained; therefore, I could not test a unit other than listening to the unit in question.
