I have an opportunity to buy several high end pieces that have never taken out of their factory boxes.The boxes are sealed. One of the pieces is a 2385,never opened.Now my hobby is restoring this gear and in most cases selling them so I can move on to the next challenge.
I guess the question is should I open them up and restore them? Or would most collectors want them still sealed. Taking away my fun. I have restored a 2385 before including the dual caps.
I know that a piece of gear that has never been plugged in before will need the pots and switches cleaned and lubed and likely the dc offset tweaked etc. at a minimum.Just to run properly.
Be interested in your thoughts?
