Good Morning all -

I recently picked up a model 90 cathedral. Original finish and clean except for bypassed electrolytics and 3 older caps on Bakelite blocks. It needed new tuning capacitor bushings which I replaced this past weekend.

Is there a risk of playing it too much without a full re-cap? I've read a number of differing opinions from, play it till something goes wrong and then fix the issue, to recap the entire set from the beginning. I'm planning to re-stuff the original cans along with the Bakelite blocks this summer. It plays well now but I haven't played it much.

Thanks,
Paul
