Agree with all.  If the Iron is still good, most all of these sets can play on nicely for a long time to come.  I've done a few and found that tube sockets were not always the best, so that's something to consider when restoring.

I've found the tube sockets to be a problem in several of my Fishers. I just replaced one in an integrated amplifier I rebuilt last month as it had sometime been replaced with a non matching socket. I had to replace 2 of the 9 pin sockets in my X-202-B amplifier as cleaning and pin tightening didn't help. I really cleaned the tube pins as well. It would work well for a month or so after cleaning. Then at start up I'd have a dead channel, and I'd have to wiggle the 2 tubes to get the channel working again.
