The original Dynaco Mark III with its original circuit design in place, or its original circuit design with certain enhancements to bring out more of its original sonic potential, can be a very fine sounding amp. Like the other original Dynacos, they may not be "world-beaters," but they get you much of the way there, which was always their value.The key with the original Dynacos is realizing that after some 50-60 years of service, you need only refresh certain parts. IMO, the original Dynacos do not need a redesign; substituting a different circuit design is not necessary.
Looks like this seller did an extensive refresh while keeping to the original design. If things were done properly, it should be a very fine-sounding amplifier. Upon reading the blurb accompanying the listing, indications seem positive. At the same time, if you have never owned a tube amp before, realize that they generally need more hand-holding than solid state gear.
