I owned an Accuphase preamp from that era. I can't remember the model number but it was their first pre. I loved all the flexibility and aesthetics, the sound is lush warm and smooth. I let it go in a trade after channel became intermittent.
The work sounds like an over the top re-cap. I know I would be hesitant to shell out that much. I would at least do some comparative pricing for the work. A recap after all this time sounds sensible.
If you get it repaired/re-capped use it some where, these Accuphases do have a special quality about them thaty is hard to describe beyond what I have already said already.
