RE: Dynaco MK IV

The dynacos in unmolested form will last another 40 years, boards in pertinax, thats safe as it does not absorb water, transformers don't age,
the two things to look for is :
B+ cap, thet will loose capacitance and should be replaced to a simular, and the selenium rectifier that power the bias - voltage.
And of course, the tubes, they are, as always has been, a limited lifeteime object. Replacing powertubes and rectifier after 2000h is what ought to be done ( don't wait for them to flash)
