Is the audio research D150 still a worthily amp?

I recently inherited an audio research D150 from my grandfather. the amp has not been used in over 15 years and will cost fair amount to money to get it serviced. I would like to know how this old amp will fair up against a modern power amp in the $2000 region? i would also like to know if there are places specialised in servicing old Audio Research gear, perhaps giving them some new life with modern capacitors?

finally, i'd also like to know what speakers would work well with this amp? i prefer speakers that are time aligned with a sealed box. please, only advice from experience with the same or a very similar set up. i do not need any random suggestions.
Thanx

The amp is a piece of junk! It is worthless.....I'll take it off your hands for a fair amount ($200)...

JOKING!!!!!

You have a pearl! Sure it's old. Sure it may need repair. But, I would think, if you have it serviced (ARC can do it or others)you can sell it for a good and fiar amount. This amp is a CLASSIS!!
