TDM Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I have a pair of these, have no idea if they work. Somebody on a different forum pointed out that a few of the capacitors looked leaky.

What do you guys think? Quote

I'd stick them on Ebay as 'vintage' 'all original' etc, and hope that someone that likes valves for valves' sake takes them. Quote

May be wise to get them checked out and it could be that some caps will need replacing. Most likely the valves will have to be replaced and rebiased anyway which needs to be done by a tech.

Dave[/quote] Yes, it's very likely one or two of the caps will need to be replaced, but new valves won't need re-biased; they are self-biasing, unlike those in powerful guitar type amps. If they're the original Mullard valves they'll be fine anyway, and worth more than the rest of the amps put together. Quote
