There are businesses that specialize in not just repairing, but completely refurbishing with all modern componenty, those 'old Scotts'. They can sound really amazing. Their owners tend to never sell these, I notice....maybe you should look into this. Sounds like your style. If I had one, that's what I'd do. Hardly anyone knows how to build the transformers they way they could back then, now. That's what makes or breaks the sound of a tube amp. Look into it.

    To rebuild the power supply and change coupling caps (this is a must as these caps are prone to failure at this age)in these old Scotts. After that your cruising. Feel more adventurous and you can do some small mods. All in all a good investment that will bring joy.
    I have an LK72 as well, somewhere between the first and second version as the power supply had some parts of each. It shares duty with a Sherwood S5000 w/el84 outputs as my favorite integrated. It also has a good phono section so you can keep all onboard.
    Email me thru the Asylum member link if you want more info.

      Now you know exactly what you need to do.
