Agreed, Dave, each repair should be treated on its own merits, if those boards are/were bad, I would replace them with the many available, pre-stuffed boards on ebay, however, these are fine, have been stripped of the old parts and new, higher-quality parts are being sourced and installed, including new Beltron micalex sockets for the output tubes. Those sockets were obviously in bad shape, however, the board mounted sockets (7199 & 12AX7 on phono board) where just as obviously in great shape and retained. Having done numerous restorations and having excellent Hakko solder/desolder gear, I am confident that these will be better than ever with quality parts and construction.
