What makes one worth more or less?

Fully working on every input, both channels, all lamps lit, is the baseline buyers expect at full price. Serviced or recapped units sell for more. Scratchy controls, dead lamps or one weak channel sell for less. Original knobs, faceplate and wood case condition matter: replacement parts and cracked veneer cut the price.
