Would you re-furbish an old ARC SP3a-1 ?

I have an old (circa 1974) ARC SP3a-1 preamp which basically does not work. It had some "un-documented" modifications done to it about 15 years ago. Is it worth the price to have ARC restore this classic and make it into an SP3c ? (The stated price for the upgrade is about $900, but they may charge more due to the un-documented modifications.) How would this then compare sonically to newer tubed preamps ?

Agree with Mr.Crump, rebuilt it back to stock spec with
the best parts you can afford. The owner's manual has all
the info you'll need.

If you want to sell it as is, please contact me.
