Is my Dynaco Stereo 400 worth repairing for resale?

@dynacohum Wrote:

Was JB also designer of the classic JBL integrated amp model SA660? 

I don't think so. Bart Locanthi designed the T Circuit in that amp see here.

@ditusa,

Thanks for the documentation.  I really wanted one of those back then!

@dynacohum: See here.

Will Vincent or Tubes for hifi both rebuild but they basically use the case and transformer.  Those are 1700-2000.  They sell kits as well.  

We used to have Magnapans.   We used Ampzilla and Quattre.  Both blew up. There were some reliability improvements that can be made. Bonjoirno and Leach put solid state on the right path.  Much more pleasant sounding than many of the day.

How much do you like it? How much would it cost to replace? How long do you plan on keeping it?

If you get all the electrolytic caps replaced, along with any other out of spec part, the amp should last another 20 or so years with out issues, other then cleaning. 

If you love it, fix it, if not sell it for something you will love. 

In the last 6 months have referbed 3 of my amps, and 2 of my pre-amps. All sounded so much better after, it was way more sweat equity over cost as I DIY'ed it. Cost was about $80 per piece, sans the amps big power caps.
