Then why do any preventative maintanence at all? Why do an auto pre-sale inspection?

Again, his amp uses transistors not bottles.

He asked. I gave him an informed answer.

Your suggestions are not needed if the amp is functioning properly.Auto inspection has nothing do with the OP's question. Those who have been in the repair business for any length of time, do not go probing for trouble that doesn't exist. Newbies who go exploring and often get in over their heads.

You are being argumentative lube! Have nothing else better to do?

OBVIOUSLY we have a difference perspective......

Not being argumentative, just trying to save someone from some bad, unnecessary advice. Have a good day!
