Might as well re-tube it now, right? Yep, $80 plus tax at AES. (4-811a's) I
kept the pulls because they are near 100% after 20 years of use.

I'm considering upgrading to a newer amp such as a Heathkit sb-220 or the
ameritron-572.. the kenwood 922 would match my ts-870 nicely but they are a
bit pricey. (200 amp service to the shack)

So many choices.

Mud-duck with a bath.. quack
