Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 - worth repairing?

I have a Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 pre-amp that I no longer need. Physically, it's in great condition. I recently replaced all tubes, but the left channel is dead and I'm not savvy enough to fix it myself. I live in easy driving distance to Conrad Johnson's HQ, so I could drop it off for repair. Do you think it's worth investing in the repair and then selling it (either here or on eBay)?

You could also have it looked at by Bill Thalmann of Music Technology in Springfield, Va. He is the former chief technician of conrad-johnson and does super work. He certainly would know the Premier 3 inside and out.

Lronick,
Could you update us on what has taken place?

I have very fond memories of that Preamp...it was iconic...I loved it's voicing.

Definately.
To all those who say, maybe or no, be honestand dont try to steal it. It is still one of the very best preamps ever made (also Spectral)so it will always be woth having it working in a system.
If you say you dont "need' it any longer, I recon a trip to the doctor to check out the mental state is a must. Ha Ha !!
