Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 - worth repairing?

I have a Conrad-Johnson Premier 3 pre-amp that I no longer need. Physically, it's in great condition. I recently replaced all tubes, but the left channel is dead and I'm not savvy enough to fix it myself. I live in easy driving distance to Conrad Johnson's HQ, so I could drop it off for repair. Do you think it's worth investing in the repair and then selling it (either here or on eBay)?

Owned a Premier 3 in the past. Sold it approx 4 years ago. It fetched around $900 used in pretty decent shape. I agree with the other suggestion to list it (as is) first. The repair may run several hundred $.
Good luck!

I had a PF-1 SS preamp repaired at CJ several years ago and the repair was under $ 100. Very reasonable I felt. Call and check it out. You may be pleasantly surprised. That or sell it to me for fifty bucks !

List it "as is". You won't recover the repair costs.

(From original poster) Thanks to all for your advice. I'll call CJ this week and try to get an idea of the repair cost before making a decision.
