Diary: Estate Sales, Shoes, Restore Pilot 240 amp

I went to a couple estate sales but I didn't find anything I wanted (I found stuff only once in three or four months). After that I went to school for Dr. Martin's class and went home about 3pm. The Steve Madden shoes and the Pilot 240 amp had arrived. I spent about two hours to check and to replace a 20m capacitor of the amp before I fired it up. The tubes are fisher tubes and I think they are all amprerex and all tubes are tested in very good conditions in my tube B&K tester. The 240 sounds very close to the sp210 and sa232 combo. But I think many people don't like it because of its smaller output transformers comparing the sa-232. The amp sounds very smooth, warm, slow, and mellow but the image is not very clear. Perhaps I have to wait for about a week till the amp warms up before I make any more comment.
