Thanks for the reply, Willie!
That is the kind of thing I wanted to hear soundwise.
Had any experience with the 'clones?
Downside I see is working with a board to fool with it, but then again, there wouldn't be umpteen years of heat on the OLD sockets and such drying stuff out.
Found an SCA-35 integrated in town, but reviews online seem to be less than stellar, as they seemed to be a cheaped-down version of the Pas/st combo. Doesn't seem that many people on the 'net have fixed them up a lot yet. Still, if the price is right...
Thanks again for the input!
Regards,
DF
