My brother has built several complete stereo systems from stuff off
Craigslist. It's all 1980's high end killer stuff bought for prices like
$50.00/component. With some time and patients it's possible.

Be aware that vintage speakers usually need their foam cone surrounds
replaced. They rot out. There's lots of info and supplies on the
internet to do this with, and it's only a few bucks.

He's been building systems that cost many thousands of dollars in the
1980s for $300.00 or less and they blow the roof off the house.
