I have a ST 70 and come to think of it a ST35 and a MKIII all sitting in the HI-FI collection closet. Don't have room to run all of them. Have talked to Sue about adding on to the museum for a 50s, 60s and 70s Hi-Fi display - not to enthusiastic response.
Anyway I rebuilt the ST 70 with one of those remake filter caps. Like said, not to impressive ratings, but it works. I think that next time I would restuff the original with caps of my liking.
As to the "chrome" paint, I invested in a 5 gal. nickel plating set up ( and a copper one, but you don't need that). If you are doing a lot of these a small kit would do fine. Build your own DC supply. It takes very little current - a battery is too much.
Anyway they are nice units. I could set up a 5.1 surround sound with mine - just kidding. Did I mention that I got them all for $19? But that is another story.
