Is it cost effective to rebuild my original Dyanco Amp?
If you have an older Dynaco amplifier, you will first need to determine if the transformers are still operable. Secondly, we would recommend replacing the quad capacitor, bias supply and possibly all of the tube sockets. The original PC board may also be in need of replacement. If the chassis is rusted/pitted you may option to replace this with a new Dynakit reproduction chassis. Review of all these costs in comparison to the cost of a new Dynakit amplifier and then decide accordingly.
