The review did state that other than a resistor,the amp. was all original.It's nice that they even did a review on a 1962 tube amp.,but if a reader doesn't know better,it will be easy to conclude that modern tube amps. are better.It's a shame that the magazine will not review restored vintage tube amps.,but I can understand the importance of sponsors if a magazine is to stay in business.I am quite pleased with my restored mc240 and have no doubt that the iron in the old amps kick the pants off of most modern output X-formers.I don't understand why a collector would want and value a unrestored tube amp.more than a restored one,but to each his own.At least a unrestored amp.was not screwed up by somebody that didn't know what they were doing.
