Great set! I bought the model 70 from Lynn that was listed for sale with your 71! She was great to deal with and I am very happy with my new 70 which is in very good condition!
As to the question about the electrolytic caps. The model 70 I bought from Lynn has the Mershon copper electrolytics which is one of the reasons I bought it. However, I have two other model 70's that according to the serial numbers are both earlier than this one, and they both have the Sprague electrolytics. So my guess would be they used both styles. Maybe whatever they could get at a better price?
I'm certainly not an expert- just a thought!
Anyway, congrats on your new aquisition, I hope you have lot's of fun with it!
Kevin
