H.H. Scott 222C: repair?
I picked up this amp for $40 a few years ago. I replaced some resistors and the output tubes, which got it working for a couple of months. Then some capacitors failed, which I paid a proffesional to fix (~$200). I enjoyed the amp for another two years.
Last year, it began sounding distorted. Then, I turned it on again, and with a flash, it died. (I am now using a Mission Cyrus 2)
I'm wondering how I should get it repaired. The telefunken pre-tubes are th only original tubes left on it, but I do have the wooden case and this model has the brass knobs. I'd like to add better binding posts and RCA sockets, but I don't know if that is possible. Would this devalue the amp considerably, or is that a non-issue, now that some caps and resistors have been replaced with modern varieties?
thanks, Nate
