   Hello. This is a great write up on the 5000. I just picked up one of these on   
   Eaby. Its the S-5000 20 + 20 Stereo Amplifier. Its the unit that has the 4   
   pushbuttons on the left front panel for phone manipulation. The tube   
   compliments are 5 Sovtek 12AX7(   
   1208), 2 RCA 7199, I cant make out what the output tubes are as the ink has   
   been worn off but what is left of the lettering is 6BQ5 and 065-090 and the   
   word organ. I would like to know if I should replace the phone tubes(the two   
   at the far left) with    
   something else, I primarily listen to the phone input. Also would I benefit   
   from different 7199's or output tubes. Much thanks for your advise.
