It depends to a fair extent on what you want it for. For a fuss-free first main hi-fi system in the lounge it is hard to recommend unless it is free or close to free. To reinforce what has been said by others, it is a budget design from the early 70s with a bit too low power for current hi-fi speakers, specs that are modest to the extent of possibly not being audibly neutral in use in some situations, components may be failing or are about to start failing due to the 50 year age (all of my amplifiers from the 70s developed problems and were passed on or scrapped). On the other hand if you want to mess about learning to maintain old hardware as part of a hobby interest then it may be worthwhile depending on condition.
I’ve thrown all the budget at a turntable with the intention of upgrading the AMP and speakers over time. Grabbed a Project Carbon EVO, this AMP and SC M41’s on the basis it will all change over time
