assuming the reason the tubes don't glow is a blown fuse or broken connection, and not a blown heater winding.

is that a tube rectifier? if so shouldn't it at least glow, if it has it's own 5V winding? not familiar with Dynaco topology.

offers starting at $350 seem a mite high for me, you could get 'em a MOD kit for that, everything shiny new.

yup GZ34s I believe, or could be a GZ33 they have their own 5V winding on the PTs. No glow sounds like the heater winding is fucked since thats the usual glow people see on power up. A blown fuse and nothing would power up at all. Could just be a broken connection tho

You can get new kits with brand spankin new parts for cheap 2 so i unless u could score it cheap not worth it
