The only real concern is if that oxidation has made it inside, but it played...and at the price of a pawn shop SS Peavey.
HRD was my first tube amp and I would have been just as well off kepijg it as upgrading to the '68 Bassman, '68 Super was a definite step up, but if I did it all over I'd prb still have the HRD, as I ended up settling on a Peavey Studio Chorus 210.
