Is the 39-40 a decent performer? Have the chance to buy one for $20 that a guy wants out of his garage. It doesnt work but it is complete and in good shape. If something is serious wrong with it and I cant get it to work I figure all the parts are worth the $20. But if I did get it to work, is it compairable to my 40-180? I see that it uses #42 output tubes instead of #41 tubes like my 40-180. Stronger output circuits? Any thoughts?
