The vintage amp dilemma, to repair or not to repair

[Nefianz]

This is a Rare 1960's Vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb Amplifier, Model: SR 1025

Now here are the problems:
1) Amp is noisy, akin to constantly blowing air into a microphone
2) Only 1 channel works, but jacks seem to have some problems as well
3) Channel 2 with the reverb and vibrato does not work

Another thing to note is that the previous owner brought it down to access for repair. However, according to him, the shop turned down the job. Unsure of whatever reason it was or where this shop is.

So ya, basically I've 3 options. Fix it, don't fit it or just let it be till it spoils completely!

It'll be nice to hear some inputs, Cheers!

If you're still using it, get it repaired. If not, get a quote for the repair costs and ask yourself if it's worth the coin.
