Updating: Bryston and Adcom both work. Sony SACD-1 also works - tested RCA and SPDIF digital out.
Cary preamp does not work. Not sure if anyone wants it for parts/cleanup/whatever. Not totally busted, but the power supply didn't work until I reseated the connector, and the left channel is coming through at crosstalk level. The right channel interrupts when I operate the volume control. I suspect we have loose power supply wiring and a defective/corroded volume pot.
I can't test the turntable or the tuner with out a replacement phono/line level preamp, which I don't have.

I saw closed transactions on hifi shark for around 2000. How does $1500 sound?
Systemdek? If the price is low, I might be tempted...

Don't know the model or the condition. Name a number and if it's cheap, I'll do the drive (and see JP while I'm at it).Used systemdek for Sale | HifiShark.com

Ok, only thing I haven’t tested is VTL amps
If you can access it, here’s a video of the SystemDek playing through the Adcom preamp and amp.

Signs of a misspent youth. I had fun though. The VTL is tubed and working. The bias seems a little lean on some tubes, but I’ll leave that to the buyer. Resistance on each is to specification.

Friggin’ back breaker. As heavy as the Adcom. Works well, but dang is it slow to initiate reading a disc.

I'd take the Cary but postage could be hundreds of $ to Australia.
edit: It's also likely fixed 120V AC.
