Recapping continues, I decided to do all the lytics in the power supply.
Here's the old ones, with cardboard removed. One was already replaced, guess which one was overheating?
My guess is the one with the tar that dripped all the way down to the bottom. That same one was oozing crud out the bottom as well.
For the main quad of filters, I opted to saw them apart and put new Nichicons into the remaining wafers. This method works well when you have cardboard covers to go over the tops like I have here, or when you just plain don't care what the finished product looks like. Pushing the leads through the wafer holds them securely in place, so no glue is needed.
With the cardboard back on, no one will ever know by looking at it from the top.
The remaining small value caps were soldered in underneath the chassis, since there is ample room on this particular set. It's nice to have some space to work with here, RCA's are typically pretty cramped under the hood.
Here's the video processing side of the chassis, with new caps installed. The only ones I have left are the .22uf ones, they should be coming from Allied early this week.
