[QUOTE="charles, post: 893400, member: 2759"] In he past I restored some Leak TL12 point one valve amplifiers and some I use on a regular basis. A couple of weeks ago I obtained two Leak 12 point one mono-blocks. One must be very careful when restoring these Leaks because its value lies in originality. These sets are basically original as one can get, with original components such the body, tip spot resistors. These sets need some restoration because of some small rust spots underneath the chassis, etc. These are the open frame transformer models (circa 1948 -1953) that are the more sought after models. One has to replace some electronic components but keep the replaced components. The Leak 12 point one is probably one of the most collectible vintage valve amplifier. I just hope I have the time to do this restoration. I will later post some photographs. [/QUOTE]
