These are truly great amps - and can be improved even further with a very simple mod - but not worth a fortune so perhaps not sensible to spend too much on it if you're considering letting it go.

I'm hoping that it'll be some Caps and a tube or two. Do I need to get the dust cleared out of the speaker cone?
For info - I'll post the quote when I get it...
Don't replace valves unless they're actually faulty. It's quite possible it will have its original old-production US preamp valves at least.

The mod I mentioned earlier is moving the tone stack on the Lead channel to post-distortion rather than pre - it makes a *huge* difference, you get a lot more gain and a far more powerful, less touchy EQ. You can do it with all the existing components and even wire, and it's fully reversible if you don't like it.
