See if you can get a Luxman R-115 (75 watts/ch) receiver with remote on ebay. Make sure the volume control is smooth with even output to both channels. It will cost $150-200 plus shipping but you will get an excellent tuner included.
The Nakamichi SR-3A (35 watt/ch) receiver is also very nice and can be found for $100-125 but does not have a remote.
