Thanks Joe,

Good tips on the alignment - I may compare the methods you mentioned.

The Hayseed caps were definiteky worth it. Given the effort to remove and replace four cans in the 500C, I appreciated not having to cut open and restuff them.

IBAM is simple enough, and works nicely. The mod is completely reversible - I even left the old bias network components in place (disconnected) so that originality could be restored.

I had very littke idea about these specific units or anything about the HiFi products of the era. Restoring this unit has let me learn a lot, and appreciate the excellent quality of design and build.
