Thanks

Many thanks guys, I really appreciate the info. I intend on replacing the electrolytics in the Maggie to start with. I put an Ohmmeter across the smallest value in the multisection can and found the lowest value 30Mfd~25VDC is a dead short. Don't know if that would cause my issue or not but I bet it doesn't help it. This amp has Sprague caps in a few spots and I wonder what they are (elec, nonpolarized,...) They look like large horsepills, dark brown with an orange ring about one end. I figure they must have been replacements at one time or another.
Is there a better specific cap to replace the smaller value in the multisection? If the rest of the caps ohm out OK, should I replace them also with electrolytics of matching value and just cut the leads to them? Sorry for so many questions but I can research over and over and I'm still not sure, and I don't want to let the magic smoke out either LOL. Bob
