How do you know when an older amp needs service?

Hello Stanwal (Spoken like "Hello Newman"),
Just kidding. I know exactly where you're coming from. My house abounds with faux plants that are of such quality that most people have to touch them to find out that they're phony baloneys. Yet, sometimes I find myself envying those plant watering, green thumb types who, even with all that care, never achieve the consistent level of beauty that I enjoy. I just don't get it.

Its simple. the fake plants will never have the bloom the real ones do.

Stanwal,

ROFL. Great response. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
