Electrolytics have been ordered for the 4400 and my 440-T. I had to get a mix of Panasonic, Nichicon and Vishay caps...and had to get 85 degrees C in many of the values as Mouser did not stock 105 degree C electrolytics in many of the values I needed...so the 85 degree caps I bought have a higher working voltage than the originals.
I was going to start a separate thread on the 440-T, but I can summarize it in one sentence: It needs electrolytics...badly. The left channel audio makes it all the way to the coupling electrolytic just before the speaker. No audio on the other side. Both it and the right channel coupling electrolytic have dried electrolyte coming out of the vents at the bottom of each. Long overdue for replacement. It, like the 4400, will also receive new electrolytics in its power supply as well as the audio section.
