I got the amp back, under $300 in work done. Nice shiny new IEC socket. I'm thinking seriously of selling the instrument. There are still some distorted and loud sounding reeds which annoy me, the damper work I did was good but not perfect (some notes aren't damping and I can't figure out why--I've fiddled with springs, lubricated, even contemplated putting small weights on the offending dampers.) I'm getting tired of the project and I think I need to move on.
With the original cost, repair on the amp, reeds, dampers and miscellaneous parts I'm still under $1000 into it. Do you think I can get that much for it?
