Pioneer SA-506 (NEC B616A/D586A pair)

Hi,


I found at the local waste center a Pioneer SA-506, 40 yo and perfectly working but the lights of the VU meters. With original Nichicon caps (no bumped top on any) Pioneer SA-506 | Pioneer SA-506 vintage amplifier on vintageshifi.com.



power transistors are NEC B616A/D586A , How are they according your experience/knowledge please ?


I know it's mass market, with a 100 VA trafo and pots from prehistoric ages but it looks cool to the eyes ! I have already 4 complete hi-fi system, so no really room for more but maybe the kitchen !



Worth the recaping or better to leave it original for the vintage enthusiasts ?
