Anyone actually have experience getting an amplifier repaired/restored that can offer any advice or any idea of what kind of bill I COULD expect? couple hundred, thousand? I have no clue and now I am a little irritated that I can't get any sort of ballpark figure. I need to know something in order to make my decision and sorry I have no intention of selling. It has too much sentimental value to me even if if doesn't work right!
Thanks.

It's pretty hard for a tech to give a price until he determines what part is not working. The guy in Newport was reasonable when he fixed mt Fender Super 60 and a Kenwood or Pioneer that I had, but I can't remember what the charge was. Seems like there were weak capacitors or something and he tuned it. I was pleased with his work. I think most techs willl charge for an examination and not do the work until you get a total and he gets an OK.
