As usual Carl misses the mark when he says

HENRY supports every amplifier they ever built to the extent that parts are
still available.
Being that the ownership has remained HENRY from day one (no acquisitions or
mergers), taking a walk through that plant reveals parts treasures from the
past. It would have been very easy to clear out all those old hardly asked
for parts to make room for the new, but that's just not the way they do it.
How many manufacturers can you think of who ARE still in business and are
willing to even look on the shelves for parts for their products 30+ years
ago?
Factory repair is also an option but all are warned that a 30 year old
amplifier may cost more than it is worth on the used market to fix, thereby
making it "beyond economical repair".
Honesty about cost to fix Vs todays value seems a far cry from "screw off".
Interesting that we ARE still talking about amplifiers built 30+ years ago.
Many are still in service today. I own the very first Henry ever made, 2K
serial number 1, and yes it still works great. See it at
http://radiodan.com/Henry/misc/2k1.htm , the page is still in progress but I
do have a picture of it there.
That is a quality statement in itself.
