Very nice! Also have an S-2200, but without the MPX adaptor. I recapped it last year and replaced the dual-concentric volume pot with individual pots. Mine was so corroded that repeated DeOxit treatments couldn't bring it back. All original Sherwood brand tubes in mine!

Before I get scolded for stacking--I'm using two PC fans connected to a wall wart to exhaust hot air from the S-5000's power tube chimney and from the case. The amp stays cool to the touch and the tuner doesn't seem to suffer from any drift.

No MPX adapter = no or very little problem. :> ) DIYer extraordinaire S. Bench has provided us with a nice IC based design. The only potential real trouble is the drive capability of the discriminator and a JFET buffer will dispose of that.
