Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp

Currently using a cheap but fairly nice sounding Dayton T120 D class amp.  Not enough inputs.  I would like to find a pre amp to use with this amp and perhaps at some point, if I can find the money, I can buy a power amplifier to replace the Dayton.

Figure my budget to be under $200 right now.  Looks like plenty of older inexpensive Solid State pre amps are available on Ebay.  

Any ideas what I should look for when buying a preamp?  I've only used Integrated amplifiers up to this point.

How about a Rotel RC-1070 Preamplifier.

It has a good MM phono stage, five high-level inputs, two pair of preamp outputs along with two sets of tape outputs.

It includes a remote control, and has a very nice headphone amplifier circuit.

You can find a nice one second-hand for about $200 if you're patient.
