Being a vintage collector, vintage amps( RCV, etc) are certainly worth it. Tuners/Receivers are particularly great in vint gear. Just get someone knowledgable to either restore , update or mod it. No brainer considering the cost of new. Then you can consider a refurbished vint "NEW"! Good luck- I love those tone controls!!
Vintage vs. New Tube Amps
Can anyone advise me on whether to purchase a vintage or new tube amp? I was offered a scott 222c in good shape, but I'm wondering whether I'd be better off shelling out a bit more for something newer, if it's better. I guess another concern is that I listen to a lot of vinyl, and the scott has a phono stage, whereas most new tubes amps don't.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks much,
Douglas
