If your were to assemble a vintage system ?

Let’s say you were going to put together a vintage system and your source was primarily vinyl. Your price limit is $1500. What would it be? 
Make it as musical as possible. Super detail or thunderous bass isn’t going to be very high on the list. My first thought would be a 70’s Marantz receiver (50ish wpc is more than adequate) an 80’s AR table, and any iteration of a Vandersteen 2C that didn’t bust the budget. 

Could easily also swap in a Pioneer SX750 instead of a Marantz. 
Cartridge? Not sure- might actually go with something modern/current. AT or Nagaoka 

what would you put together?

My system is vintage. 

My system is set up for vinyl. 

My system costs about 20 times $1,500. 

My system can be seen here: theaudioatticvinylsundays.com

My system may give you ideas: for example, instead of the Futtermans, start out with a Dyna 70 (as I did 51 years ago), etc.
