I once had a vintage Marantz amp/tuner. Champaign alu face, blue lighting, wood side panels. Lovely, when it didn't crackle. It worked about 70% of the time. I had it cleaned, new power cable, a few new solders, pots re-done etc. The problem persisted. The second vintage amp I had was a Pioneer and it worked brilliantly, until it didn't - 6 months after buying it.
So, IME, vintage looks are great, but the reality is often not.
