Hi Sony, I have this audio mag. called Listener. It was great and Art Dudley was the man before going to Stereophile RIP.In the issue in front of me is a history of the Dyna ST-70 by Peter Brueniner in which he quotes Walt Bender. Walt Bender knew the worth of vintage tube amps and created Audiomart, a place to trade and sell before anyone was online. Walt said; It takes 3 to 6 months for a transformer to reach 80 percent of it's performance but may take over 40 years to get that last 20 percent.This explains the stratosphere like pricing of old Western Electric gear. That was the 2001 Sept./Oct. issue. Sony, when you asked that question about vintage/new, I had to dig that out. Right now I'm looking at a Heathkit W5 amp. It's as old as me 64.It has a transformer,Altec that looks like a piece of art and if not working persay could be used as a small lobster boat anchor.Take care Sony...Mark Korda
