COUNTERPOINT SA-3 TUBE PREAMPLIFIER for repair

Description

You're looking at a Counterpoint SA-3 tube preamplifier in very good cosmetic condition but which needs repair.
When I got it, I found a short in the external AC box.  I replaced the insulating sheet where the short was  and fired it up.  It sounded beautiful for about 5 minutes then began to smell.  It was getting hot inside the main unit. I turned it off and downloaded schematics.  I've heard of this issue before involving the LM317 regulator chip and I poked around the schematics but ended up being disinclined to pursue the matter further. Too much bother in a busy year.
So I'm offering it up for sale here. I see that one went for 0 incl. shipping and another for 0 incl. shipping.  Not needing to squeeze the last buck out of this one, I'm putting it up for 0 + .  Note that I put it up on 6/17 for 0 + when I meant to put it up for 0 +
shipping which is well below the other two listings
.  You get to save more!   Hope the folks that saw it at that price look again...  .
Buy it and fix it and you've got a great preamp worth far more than what you'll have put into it. Of course, I'm selling it as-is with no warranty.
At any rate, thanks for looking!
