Thanks for the replies guys 
It's option "C" for me (of course)
A while back I set about a Fender "Pro Junior" mainly to reduce hiss/hum etc..... I went as far as relocating the Power TX/changing the speaker & using carefully selected pre & power valves along with the usual cable dress & valve bases re-soldering as well as changing a few caps in the signal path & upping smoothing in the power line.
I finished up with a very quiet amp yes, but it seemed to have lost that touch of "sparkle" these amps have when they are working properly so it had to go, however the guy I sold it to thought it was so great to have a quiet Pro Junior in his studio that he came back a few weeks later for a bigger cab & 12" speaker to be fitted ( and I got to keep the original "tweed" cabinet)
I like this Champ & it'll do me now for the "duration" as they say
Dick.
