Today I took the boards off and ordered all the electrolytic caps from Mouser.
Elna no longer makes all the caps that it used to, so....I just went with hi-temp long service hours high ripple caps. I doubt they, if good quality, really affect the sound as some claim.
Plus most are bulk caps on logic or filters in Power supply.
I replaced 6800uF 35V with 10000uF, they are the same exact size and in main bridge filter the more the better, if the diodes could withstand the inrush (should).
The schematic and the actual board have discrepancies.
Parts list has omissions.
Some parts are shown wrong, like the main rectifier's diodes.
Nothing eggregious though.
So if everything comes on 11th as promised, I will have a busy day.

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.
