I really like the amp.  It is in great condition and

play it loudly <snip>

Mike,
So far, nobody has offered suggestions for getting that great sound at 
lower volume.  I have no experience with attenuators, but I gather 
that's what they're about.  As an alternative, some different tubes 
might help:  I took the 5U4 out of a SJ410, replaced it with a 5R4, re-
set bias, have AU AU 5751 left to right.  To my ears (and that's the 
big caveat!), it sounds great at somewhat lower volume (not like an 
attenuator, I'm sure).  Others may have suggestions along these 
lines.  --jk
