I replaced all those caps- and other than it being not the neatest job in the world, it seems to be working great! I'm running it right now with an iPod- been going for about 30 minutes and sounds good.

I'll re-case it in a few hours if it doesn't show any signs of problems.

Thanks again guys. You're the best!

Chews.

Well time will tell, but you can prove the point by measuring each old cap's leakage, and effective capacitance by CR time constant charge/discharge.

And when you are working on "mission-critical" equipment, it's nice to be really sure.

A good tech should be able to re-create most faults on demand if they really understood what was going on/wrong and has really fixed, or at least be able to do a coherent write-up.
If you say theory and practice don't agree you haven't applied enough theory.
