I saw a Silvertone 70A for $100, buy it?
That was Sears brand. As the for the 135 watt rating that is impossible. That means the power the unit consumes when in use, not the power to the speaker. That stuff is flea market crap. Save yourself that cash and look for something better. 
Threshold S200 or Phase linear 400
Threshold is a in a different class. Phaselinear was budget gear 35 years ago when new. Get that Threshold ,100 watts of clean power. 
What is "low ball"
When I list something, I put free shipping and no paypal fee with price firm. This blocks out all lowballers without saying no lowballers. I have always sold listing this way. I think it takes more balls to ask for the buyer to pay for paypal.

Tube preamp
Quicksilver makes two models, remote and non remote. I have owned both and I like the non remote better,it uses 12ax7 tubes,the remote uses 6dj8 tubes. You can get these preamps used for about $600.

Do I need a phono pre amp?
I agree with Banquo353. I always like my preamp at the upper range,I think they sound better at full gain. As long as it is not noisy. 
Replace pre-amp
BTW the model is the Perseaus $1895 new. There are a few listed here used for a lot less. 
Replace pre-amp
Check out Rogue audio. They make nice tube preamps with phono in your price range.

VPi HW 19 jr upgrade
If you change the sub-chassis you will have to get armboard. Take a look at the MK3's for sale on this site and you will see what I am talking about. The jr has a one piece plinth and can't be put on that steel sub-chassis. If it was my $1000 to s...
