Easiest recap ever.


Boy are these "SEALDTITE" caps garbage!


Now as for the eight twist-loc electrolytics... They are trivial to unmount as they barely twisted the tabs.


However, I was quickly reminded why I stopped attempting to restuff them.


Instead, I'll finally give CE Manufacture caps from Amplified Parts a try.
Just over for $300 for eight caps but I figure the labor savings are worth it. Plus, it will look authentic and no need to reroute wiring or install terminal strips.

I had to get creative for some to get the need values, but I think it'll be OK.
For example, I need a dual 40uF @475 which they don't carry.
So, I ordered a 4 X 20uF @475 and I'll tie some sections together.
