Howard's advice is very, very good.  Contact Ron Holmes at Holmes 
Electronics.  (Do a google search.) He can probably repair that amp for 
a couple of hundred or so, give or take, and including shipping and 
handling.  If you give him the go-ahead, he can probably do some new 
things to it that will make you fall in love with it all over again.

Them if you've still got a jones for another amp, you'll have $1800 left 
to play with.  I think there's a Sonny Junior that sells in that range.

Or you could just keep the $1800.  From what I hear, a Holland in good 
condition is a pretty good amp.
