Sony Pro-80
#4

Good advice folks, thanks Arran and BrendaAnn Icon_smile

On another project with SMT electrolytics, (Squeeze-box Hifi component) I replaced them as Arran suggested, and it was easy.

On this board, with nothing to lose except $12 for a cap kit, I thought I'd have a go with SMT. It sure isn't tag strips and tube sockets though!

I found a few on-line pointers with this set and its cousins.. What I'm finding does not seem to be unusual, and there is a fair chance of recovery. Now the "Brains" are working, I can start to figure out the radio elements like oscillators and IF. More familiar territory, even if it is tiny and doesn't glow in the dark..

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
