I don't know why these sets are considered so amazing when they are still working. I've personally worked on 5 or 6, and all of them just needed a basic re-cap plus some board clean up. I had to fix one open circuit board trace on one of them. I've heard of one set than needed a hard to find IC because some of the pins had corroded away, but that's the exception.

Wow, nice find. I paid like almost $800 for it used.
Andy fixed mines and I agree with him. Even though it's brand new, it reserves the right to leak caps without warning.
