**Heheh. I'll go one better. Last year I received two old 3 Watt/ch valve
(PP) amps in for repair. Two of the four output transformers were shot,
along with most of the electros, a goodly number of resistors, all the
output valves and most of the paper caps. I offered the client two deals:

1) I'll restore it to original condition for around AUS$1,000.00.
2) For about AUS$300.00, I'll attempt a partial repair, which, if he was
not happy, would get his money refunded.

He chose deal #2. I stuck two power OP amps inside, rolled off the
frequency extremes, left the filaments connected and gave it back.

He reported back to me that his amps had never sounded so good. And
rightfully so. He now had around 3 times the power output.


You've used this story here before.


**Er, that's because it ain't a story.
