Other than the two Cathode Feedback caps, I did the power supply recap tonight.
Funny thing, the low-volt caps, that were probably replaced not so long ago (perhaps 8-9 years) show a tad better ESR and D factor than the new ones I jusrt bought (all good brands, Chemicon and Rubicon).
They are not that critical at all, but it is funny. I recapped them anyway, all new lytics.
Tomorrow will finish the Cathode ones, but I could measure the voltages before that.

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.
