Thanks captain for the kind and helpfull response. It is in fact a 299c model with 7591 power tubes. It will be a while before I can get to it, but will share some results when I'm able.

I just came into a Scott 799c and 333 gold stereomaster set of components and have some questions about how to clean, test, and possibly have them restored. I'm a complete novice when it comes to tubes and although I'm anxious to clean them up and test to see if I would like to keep and use them in my system, I don't want to damage them in the process. Any tips on what to use to clean the surfaces including handling the tubes, etc. I want to remove dust, fingerprints, foriegn substances, but not damage the gold tint, lettering, or surfaces. Also, any tips on testing with a meter or using some protection before powering up. I hope to drive some very efficient 1990 vintage klipsch speakers if I can do it safely. Thanks in advance for the helpfull advice.
