What have these guys been doing?  Do they tell you something 
substantive, or are they giving you vague technical double-talk?  The 
tone problems make me think that you might want to look into having 
all the capacitors replaced.  After over 20 years, countless on-off 
cycles, bad power in who knows how many rooms, and all those 
temperature extremes, at the very least you'll want to replace all 
the electrolytic capacitors, and I'd think someone who knows what 
they're doing would give you a price on having that done.  Upside: 
more reliable amp.  Potential downside: it won't necessarily sound 
"vintage" anymore; it'll sound more like the amp sounded when it was 
new.  But I'd definitely look at having it recapped.
