Hi Marv and welcome to The Phorum!

Changing all caps is a must and also checking and replacing any resistors that are outside the +/-20% of nominal values, as listed in the parts list for the set. A great performer when back running again.

Make sure you have a good schematic and alignment info, including Production Change Notes, many which Rider's failed to re-publish. Your set also could be a different Code version chassis. Components many times were changed in different Run numbers as well.

Chuck
