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.

No idea if it's in working condition, but I don't feel like it's a good idea to power it up and see without having a tech look over it.

What do you guys think?

They don't have a great reputation; the transformers are the same as used on the 10 watt version and struggle to handle the extra power. I'd stick them on Ebay as 'vintage' 'all original' etc, and hope that someone that likes valves for valves' sake takes them.

Nice!

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.

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.
