Finished the main chassis by restuffing the electrolytic. It was replaced with several separate caps; I took it and stuffed with the 5 caps that should've been there: 1uF, 1uF, 2uF, 2uF and 10uF.
Then I got to restuff the caps from the amp/power supply.
I do realize that all the caps are replacements, but boy are they PITA to work with. Black tar galore. They are easy to extract but then the cleaning commences and it is grueling. Lots of picking with screwdriver and then cleaning with mineral spirits.
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.
