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.

Thanks. I am not technical either. Other than listening to the amp is there anything else to check that would indicate a potential down the road problem with the internals?

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. I ended up purchasing but then cracked the front glass faceplate when pulling this 80lb monster out of my car. Anyone know where a replacement may be available?

Thanks!
