Would give 0 stars but had to select 1. After visiting there website that tells all how great they are at "total restoration" of mid century audio gear, especially tube powered gear, i took a receiver with the original schematic to them for a recap. The only damage to this unit was cosmetic. The clerk was nice enough to get the owner to come out of the back and look at it. After about two seconds he said " oh no way, that things too rough." And then they tried to sell me unit for $600 that looked like some of the things i get from Godwill for about $9. I was willing to pay good money to have my receiver restored since it has been in my family for over 50 years. I also have many others that i would have had restored at a later date as collecting vintage audio equipment is one of my passions. I will find a real specialist to do the job , i was just impressed by their self touting website. Big mistake.
