I had my C20 for more than 30 years when I sold it last year. In fact, It still had a couple of stickers on it from the two McIntosh clinics I took it to in the late 60's/early 70's. {Guess that tells you I'm an old fart}I gave it a good hard look before I sold it. I took mine over the Peter Lederer (ex Bozak engineer) who runs Soundsmith. They went through it and pronounced that it met all the original factory specs. My ears told me otherwise. I added up the costs for all the caps I'd need to replace, and the resistors that had drifted out of spec, and compared it to what the carraige trade was paying these days for C20's... Just not worth it to me to restore compared to what someone else would pay for it in "original" condition.
My hat's off to Mikey!!
