If you want it to WORK you have to replace all caps. I take a firm stand on this! We don't mess around with this equipment, we get it on the bench once and replace all caps and seleniums. We have re-capped tube equipment such as jukeboxes and PA amps that are working continuously more than 8 hours a day without fail.

If you just do some caps you will be back into it time and again to fix problems as the caps continue to degrade. This set is especially sensitive to thermal cap problems as the heat builds up more inside the small cabinet.
