Hi everyone, total newbie here. Back in the 70s I became familiar with PL400 as a neighbor had included one for the killer stereo that had put together. I remembered that amp ever since. Very recently a well to do friend had grown tired of what he presumably considered clutter and gave me a pair of PL400 amps which he had lying around in is house unused. So now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. They are now at a repair shop for a guy I trusted with a Fender tube guitar amp repair. His preliminary effort is that one of the 2 amps, powers up okay but one channel is low on power. The other amp has DC output in one channel. Both appear to need meter and/or lamp repiar. I guess I should read through the intros below as I am unsure what to do with these PL400s (I believe series I). I don't really need them but I recognize the potential and/or the possible value if sold (or repaired and then sold).
Maybe one important thing to ask the community is a recommendation for a repair person, ideally near Wash DC.
Or alternatively, a source for the service manual and schematic.
