Hi, guys. First let me say that it was not an electrolytic cap that was not replaced. They, I replace before anything. It is a blue paper cap which I let go because it looked kind of new. I've yet to replace it because I've been busy, but should get it taken care of tomorrow. I'm particularly interested in codefox1's comment regarding resistors. If the cap doesn't change things, I'll change a few resistors that look ragged, even though they did pass the 20% test. Thanks for all suggestions. I'll keep in touch.
