Cheap Old Preamps

I'm helping a friend look for a cheap (under 100$) old (tubed would be great but not necessary) preamp, and was wondering if you all had some ideas for what to look for (probably on eBay). I've been tracking some Dynacos, but the tube ones tend to exceed our budget. Are the SS daynaco preamps just sucky? His sources include an AR/XA TT and a really old Cambridge CDP. Amplification is a 40 wpc (I think) SS McIntosh amp (model unknown). Thanks.

Superphon Revelation Dual Mono or Basic
Late '80s vintage. Solid state. Simple design by Stan Warren, originally the "S" in PS Audio. I owned a DM for many years and it sounded great. Original retail on the DM was $400. Pots got scratchy after a while however. If you can find one I bet it would be well under $100.

Good luck
