Purchasing barely used NAD gear


I have the option to purchase some used NAD gear.   $575 Lightly used and hasn't been used in 25 years.  What kind of issues might I expect to encounter with gear this age.  It looks brand new.   I'm not as tech savvy as some of you fine folks!

     Keep in mind: there are numerous aluminum electrolytic capacitors throughout the circuits of all of those NAD components.   NOT just in the power amp's power supply.

     All are subject to electrolyte drying out (after a couple decades, used or not) and causing diminished performance, if not outright failure.

      The same holds true of virtually any vintage audio gear that employs, "wet" electrolytics.
