Re: On buying a Citation II

Ben,
By all means buy it , but I echo what others have said, if it is origional, rebuild it. Most in origional condition still work and sound good, but not up to their potential. Rectifier diodes today are
infitely better, the electrolytics are tired and a lot of the resistors have drifted. It is a real tribute to the design that the amps can still sound as good as they do with tired, out of spec. and in some cases even non functional parts.
All that said I presume you know that this is a very natural sounding amp, and as such does not have the warm tube amp sound that some like.
