Thinking of buying a Lumley Reference ST70 with attached passive pre

[ringo_the_hifi]

Hello there.

I'm thinking of buying a Lumley Reference ST70, apparently recently serviced of which I have no doubt of.

I'm new to valve, so I'm just wondering what your opinions are of this ampilfier as I can't find anything on the net about this model as it's got an attached passive pre amp.

It's got russion valves, are these replacabable? if so, can they be upgraded and how much with they cost?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi ringo_the_hifi,
You've asked a number of questions about this amp. In order to start the ball rolling perhaps you could you tell us what valves are used in it.( I believe they should be something like 4x6550's 2xECC82's and 2XECC83'S or their Russian equivalents )
