Glad you still have a 303 Shane. Quad will basically get it working and do the minimum necessary to achieve this (I don't think they go in for rebuilds but I could be wrong) and Net Audio will charge a small fortune for a full rebuild with new boards etc... I'm all for a dada style recap and rest of voltages, with new presets if necessary to do this. It's a lovely and endearing old amp, the 303 and although it's useless with demanding speakers, thank heavens there are some really good monitor grade types out there that the 303 loves to play into (from big Tannoys on one extreme to vintage Spendors on the other :))
