Would it be reasonable to recap the power stage and not worry about the RF stage? Maybe even cleanly disconnect the RF stage?

Assuming the Iron is good, whats the rough cost to recap one of these? 100, 200, etc. That will depend a lot on how I proceed.....


Is it OK to ask a value on this forum? Or is that against the rules? I understand either way....
