I've found restoring solid state gear has offered me more improvement and appriciation of the original sound. "Maybe" more towards it's original intent - only assuming what it would have sounded like?
But on occasion I have found doing a total pull out and parts replacement with "some" tubed amps left me very dissapointed. What would start out as a vintage tube sound with great possibilities ended with a total loss of it's character and charm. Not the way I wanted to go. I know this could be a long thread on it's own.
As Jim pointed out, to my surprise, there are WAY more variables since it's production date. So bring it back to spec first and take it from there. Personally I wouldn't go parts "crazy" on it. Just the basics.
