Parts from Mouser came Friday.
Capacitors and tips for my soldering iron.
Have finished recapping yesterday.
I went ahead with restuffing the twistlocks. The high ripple Panasonic 22uF caps went inside. One of the twist tabs on each cap got soldered to the chassis. Now that I have chisel tip it got easier.
I used Sprague Atom TVA series for low-voltage axial feedback electrolytic caps.
I used Vishay Röderstein film caps for the film caps that needed to be replaced. Which is all except 0.1uF interstage DC blockers, which I fond were just fine.
I also replaced the 0.033uF Death Capswith X2/Y2 safety type.
Had to replace 220K resistors, were way out of spec, the rest seems very good.
Now to the tubes.
I will need full set of tubes for one amp and some for the other. However since tubes, at least the output, need to be somewhat mached, I think I'll go with full two sets. (One set had no tubes).
I had 5881 in one of them, but one is bad.
Also need the shields for EF86, both are missing.
And the last one: where could I get the RCA jacks, the panel mount type with two-screw mount? Mine are oxidized, I'd like to replace them.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
