Hi.Upgrading is always part of ST-70, which indeed left tons of rooms for mods considering it is a 'vintage' design back in 1950s.
AS G-7 said it right, too much mods - no more ST-70!
Beside destroying its vintage personality, it doesn't warrant better sound despite spending man-hours & money on the overhauling ST-70.
One thing I fully agree with what Sheldon Stokes, who spent more than enough time & energy in mod'ying ST-70:
"Based on my listening experience with various ST-70 mods, the most
satisfying mods change the amp the LEAST."So, don't hold your breath for miraculous sonic return even one wants to drop a bundle to replace driver, irons etc etc. It may not happen. I've read published report on rebuilding the ST-70 driver stages entirely etc etc, & the sonic result did not justify the hard work at all.
Too many flies spoil the ointment ????
Good listening
