What does everyone think is the going rate for replacing a blown final

If it is the 1969, the part is relatively cheap. The labor is the killer.
I
would think it would be in the area of $50.

%*&$ing hell. "how much". 1969's are getting harder to source now since they
have ceased production of them. The 2SC2078 10w transistor is a commonly
used one in the straight 40 type rigs. Even so, id not charge any more than
$25 unless there was a lot more involved than a simple tranny change...but
then again, im not a shop.
