BAT VK-60..New to tubes...Help???

I am looking at a local sale for a original VK-60 with original tubes in mint condition.I want this for a active system to run MIDS ONLY(maybe mid/hi later-passive).I need to know how much it will cost to retube with a warm sounding tube and a fair price for this older amp(1995 I beleive is when they came out???)..Is there different versions?
I will power a dual ATC 75/150S/side active setup crossed at 400hz/3500hz and will need a warm sound.
Any help guys is appreciated.
thanks

BAT amps seem to be very reliable. If you are looking for a warm amp for midrange the vk-55 would be a better choice than the 60. The midrange in this amp is magicical.

There is a vk-55 on the gon right now for $2500 that I would get if I had the cash on hand. I don't due to an ugly recent divorce but you could take advantage of it. I think I paid about $2000 for mine on the gon. You might offer him around that.
