Worth repairing Essence Amp?

Audiobunker, Duane Randleman  of Automated Lifestyles in LeClaire Iowa did a great job helping me through this. He has someone able to service these amplifiers, also worked on my Essence pre amp, and gave very good recommendations for tubes on the Lazarus pre amp I was using as a phono pre amp that Dale sold to me some 30 plus years ago.  Highly recommended.

I would add I thought the prices very reasonable for the quality of amp, to replace of equal caliber with something new would have been much more expensive. They do apparently have some of Dale's schematics as well. 

There were many of Dales amps sold here in Louisville they were also serviced here at one time. Great local tech semi retired he may or may not want to service. They are not your normal layout and parts selection. I owned 2 of these amps and they do sound great. They are difficult to secure and ship. Tom

I would add that I know they have serviced multiple amplifiers in the past year at Automated Lifestyles. I do know that  there were many pieces of equipment sold in Louisville from talking to Dale when he was active in the business in the 1990s making this equipment,  I don't know if that business still exists,  Duane certainly helped me  with his repair technician. They also serviced another audiophile here in Lincoln as I  transported some of their equipment  as well. I'm in driving distance of the quad cities so it was a good solution for me
