This morning's TA-600 surgery resulted in the final small electrolytic finally being replaced (center of photo):

That was fun. NOT. A 390K resistor was also replaced that had increased in value to 435K.
I still want to perform the low and high filter mods posted by Dave G. in this thread, but I might build the IBAM first. The remaining mods are going to require some serious digging into tight places. To top it all off, I noticed a couple Black Beauty caps deeply buried in there. UGH.
