hey guys, i have this old varmint xl250 its at least 30 years old
and has not been used in at least 10 years. it powers up ,tubes light up, knobs and switches seem to be ok. it has 3 tubes 1-# 6LF6 and 1-# 6kv6a and one that i cant see the numbers. it is very clean inside the fan works and i dont see anything that looks burned or shorted.also inside is a old paper label that reads " do not use twin tubes use only single tube 6LF6". i have not tried to transmit with it as i did not want to start a meltdown. my questions are: would you spend the money to have checked and repaired,if so who would you recommend to do repairs? also does anyone know the specs on this unit, max input/output, how to tune etc. thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.
