30 years - wow.

Well I have started on mine. I see that another metal boxed cap has been removed, .25mf in the center.

Rebuilt the big cap can using only film 630 volt caps. It costs more but should withstand surges, unplugging the FC speaker, reversed polarity (none) and the test of time. I do not want to do it again. Upped the filter values from 2mf to 3mf as well.
