Wanted: Home Audio and Stereo (Working and As-is) Audio Research Mcintosh Sonic Frontiers VTL VAC

Hello! I live in the Los Angeles area. I am primarily looking to purchase modern and/or vintage audio equipment that may either work or not work properly (as-is but must be salvageable).
This is my hobby, not my job and I dislike buying and selling items on eBay. I am posting this ad to find gear at reasonable prices from reasonable people. I try to be an alternative to dealing with eBay, allowing you to avoid the hassle of selling fees, fraud, shipping costs, and selling limits. I do not resell most of the equipment that I buy unless it ultimately cannot be fixed or will just end up turning into clutter.
If you choose to message me, please leave a phone number along with an email.

I have made many purchases over the years from those with extra gear. I think it's great fun to fix and listen to new gear. I purchase only with cash, check, or PayPal (if item is not local).  
If you are not local, I can also pay for shipping directly by emailing you a UPS shipping label that you simply print, tape to a packed box and drop off at UPS. Being across the country should not be a deterrent to reaching out!     
Beyond what is listed in the title, I am open to all kinds of brands and will also gladly purchase certain vintage gear or anything with tubes for that matter.
