You only need to replace the knobs and you've got a new amp
And the metal case.
As much as I love that amp, I'm starting to think the $360 I've spent in repairing a 21-year old amp may not have been so wise. I could have ponied up a little more and got a newer more powerful amp.
What I mean is your amp is like a part of the family and getting rid isnt an option, unless it starts forgetting things and leaving a mess everywhere it goes, then its off to the happy farm
No, I get what you and Squishy are saying. And I agree with you both.
I'm just venting that it's tough parting with a chunk of money when you could use it towards an upgrade or something more reliable. I've never had amp problems before. Whether it was my Yorkville prior to the lightning strike, or my GK I once had, or even my Crate practice amp (although I think the Crate is getting ready to shit the bed), so I don't know if amps are like cars, and as soon as one thing goes south it's usually a sign of a bunch of things to come.
I hope that's not the case for my Yorkville. I'd like to think the factory sees the longevity of their product as a badge of honor, so when they saw my 21-year old amp come in, they took special care to get it right to send it back out for another 21 or more years.
