Back to the VT-71H

Hi Tim. The “cherry drops” capacitors in there are pretty cheap, Chinese knockoffs I got in a multi-pack kit off Amazon. I tested them before I soldered them in and they were in spec and not leaky but I’m wondering if changing them out would help. The Wima high voltage caps are the standard replacement caps for that area and should be ok. Then there’s the pesky resonance spring around the HV rectifier Bob messed with a video or two ago. I believe it is in the correct place but I’m suggesting whatever I can to help out!
