"Alte deutsche Amps" und der Dynacord Reference 500

Hi community.
First I need to say happy new year, and thank you for all information and work shared here.
I am sorry I have to be writing in English because I don't speak or read much German. 

I bought my first Dynacord Reference 500 in Bergen, Norway, in 1986. I lost it during the 90ties, and missed it ever since.
Lately I ended up getting 2 Reference 500. Its a long story, but here I am.

Funny thing is that I have both the versions mentioned here, both the one with 2 preamp tubes, and the one with 4.

I am mostly into clean tube sound, and the one with 2 preamp tubes sound amazingly soft and creamy. But the output is very low, compared to what I expected it to be.
The distortion channel is much more powerful. The treble potensiometer only works on the distortion channel, not on the clean channel.

The one with 4 preamp tubes, is way louder, but has a terrible sharp and loud trebly sound. If I turn the treble and the prescence all the way down, it sounds quite fine.
Another problem with this unit, is that the reverb adds a distorted artifact when engaged.

It is hard to find anybody who knows what to do with these in Norway, I guess in Germany one can still get lucky.
But if I can gather information here, maybe I can get some help from qualified technicians here.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
