old components for new small system
I don't see why not! I replaced my Quicksilver m 60 mono blocks with some old Heathkit w4-AM mono blocks- Best move I ever made! 
Repairing Ohm F's
what's the problem??? 
Recommended vintage amps.
There are so many to choose from. Your tastes/ears should determine. Scott, Fisher , Marantz, KLH, Kenwood , Mac, etc etc. Tubes or Solid state. Prices are a steal on some great vintage solid state amps/rcvs. I've been collecting these for some ti... 
Best integrated w/ built in phono $1K-$1.5K used?
check out the Plinius 8200II - 
Good automatic TT's
Sounds like you don't need a changer or replay feature. So the perfect choice would be a DUAL CS 5000 stops & lifts at end and has cue lever. 3 spd. Around 300-400 Look here, Audioweb or ebay for one. Denons are nice too but not as reliable. G... 
Tubes with Totem Forests?

What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ?
Audioquest Sterling - I had to have these- went deep into debt but also made my system more than I thought possible. There was NO looking back. Don't ever try these in your system unless you have BIG bucks

Plinius 8100 vs Classe Cap 100 or 150?
Your requirements are very specific. And it's great that you have narrowed down to two choices. Best if you auditioned in your home. Virtually impossible to make a choice without listening in your home. But, I do like the Plinius sound. Good Luck 
Has any one put sand in there totem forests?
Totem recommends sand so they don't fall over. I used sand (about 10 cup fulls)in mine. Seems to improve the bass, but, I'm sure it depends on your room acoustics. If you try adding sand to your, let me know your results..
