Paul,
I may not understand your post.
I assume you mean 'competition'? in your subject line?
And is Jim the fellow who does the bang up job with photos of the renovated Dynaco gear?
I wouldn't think then, that competition is the right word. Isn't Audiogon mainly a place for selling gear?
Sorry for all these questions. And it would be nice to provide a direct link to your interest.
I do like seeing old gear restored to pristine condition. I have an Eico HF81 integrated amp that I really need to get to work on...
Wish I could make it look at pretty as this one:

And here is a link to a friend who has done several Citation I and II rebuilds, I believe.
