Says 70's DRs are going for $700 - $900. Assuming it's just the grill cloth, which you can replace for about $30, that's not bad. And of course, that assumes there are no other surprises found by the tech...and the speaker/tubes/etc are nice. You could quickly start adding to the price if you start messing with upgrades.

However....we're not talking about a serious step "up" here. A DR is somewhat similar to a Classic 30 in performance. Yes, SF amps are getting more collectable...but this amp is already altered a bit.

My feeling....if you like the tone is much better than the PV, go for it. The SF champ...while a nice to have, won't be used much once you get a DR.
