I picked up this Opus 6 yesterday
#10

Ron

when a cap goes up in value 4 times, to me there is no valid justification for leaving it in.
Out of all ERO caps in my radio (about 30+) there is no one single cap that did not go up at least 3x the value.
I think I might've even put a picture in my Grundig thread.
For comparison, all American caps in Philcos or Zeniths were 1.5x to 2x the value and in fact did work. Still needed to be replaced.

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.
