The Power / Audio Amp chassis is on the bench now.
Same deal, whoever owned it at some point painted it with aluminum paint using a brush.
Plus the caps are not original, obviously, with one seem to be missing (will find out when the sch comes from Chuck). And some substitutes are axial under-chassis jobs/
Some Candohm; at least one I checked, the shorter one, seems OK; will know with the sch.
I also extracted the sole aluminum can cap from the main chassis.
Here's something I don't get from the label; maybe someone knows why:
The label says "Replacing mfd: 8 - 8", which is understood, replacing a dual 8uF cap. But then it says "Actual Mfd - 1.75- 1.75" which tells me it is a dual 1.75uF cap. (BTW still measure 3-3uF).
What does that mean?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
