Totally agree with these gentlemen on capacitors ... everything but the mica caps gets replaced. I differ with them a little regarding the resistors however. Resistors are the least expensive parts in the chassis that can go bad. Testing all of them takes almost as much time as replacing them, and you have the chassis on a bench anyway. I choose to replace them as well. I call it being proactive. Might be overkill ... just me. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
