the dyna sc35 is a interesting idea, if I find a original about how much to have it rebuilt would you guess?
Follow Ups:
A used one will go for something like $150 to around $400 depending on condition. A rebuild, which may likely be needed for it to meet its potential, would cost, I don't know, maybe a few hundred more depending on what you have done and the quality of the parts.Though it is an option, it might or might not make financial sense to buy an original and then send it out to get rebuilt. If you rebuild it yourself, that's another matter, I suppose. Last I knew, I think you can get a brand new one for around $1,000. I have a Stereo 35, which is basically the same power amp section as the SCA-35, and it sounds great.
I suggest inquiring with different places. For example, you could ask Joe Curcio for a price to rebuild an original. Or, you could contact Sal Brisindi, who builds the new Dynakit. There is also Roy Mottram at tubes4hifi, who I think sells a fully assembled, new SCA-35. Either way, as long as it is up and running properly, it should be a great-sounding little integrated on a par with most anything else near that price range and higher. Not a lot of power, but your speakers are efficient.
Another great thing about the Dynacos is that there is a ton of support and documentation available.

Thanks, I will check into that
the 35 is actually a very nice little amp. It uses one of the sweetest and best sounding output tubes. The humble for great sounding EL84. I'm a big fan of those tubes.The amp/preamp is basically a very simple unit. All you would need to do is replace a few capacitors and upgrade a few coupling caps. Also I would replace some of the power resistors. Otherwise a VERY simple and easy rebuild.
If you want to start ripping into it and modding it, there are plenty of kits and boards available. However I would be VERYYYYY careful not to upgrade it to death. If you get my point.
And if you go this route you can post over at the tube forum. A fun and great bunch of guys.
