Intro from Exited New Audiophile

How's that for an intro? I was introduced to this sport of "buy and hope 'they' don't find out" by a well experienced friend who didn't know when to quit and now owns an entire good sized pole barn full of any type of audio equipment we could dream up. I currently own two stereo sets myself, including a pair of AR bookshelf-sized speakers. I have components and plans to build a pair of La Scalla style of speakers. Also have a Panasonic RS-280S receiver that I'm working on restoring. Link with pics of this receiver: https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/panasonic/rs-820s.shtml I'm not sure if I should start a new post on these projects somewhere else on the site or can they be discussed on this thread? Things I want to know on these projects: Where can I get all new bulbs and meters for this receiver since they of course all burned out? How much is this thing actually worth if I sold it, like will it be worth my time restoring it? Where could I get build plans for my speakers?
