Should I repair my amp?

I need to make repairs to my Levinson 333.5 amplifier that will cost about $2,500.00. Do any of you out there have a learned opinion as to whether it is a good idea to spend the money or put the money toward a different amplifier. I have other Levinson equipment (CD player and preamp) as well. The amp drives B&W Signature 120 speakers.

Your Levinson without the repair is a boat anchor, on the other hand If you saw a Levinson 333.5 for sale for $2500 would you consider that reasonable.

Just a thought.

I would suggest checking out the ads that offer to buy non-working items. It would give you an idea of what your "doorstop" is worth as is. Highly doubtful it is worth $0 given its pedigree, may be worth only a few hundred, but add that figure to the $2500 to determine what you could put towards a replacement.

If spending the $2,500 will make it like new again, i would do t. will the repair offer any warranty with it?
Good luck
