yep kind of a waste considering the speaker and enclouser.
Not being able to leave well enoung alone, I revisited one of he top mounted caps. I was able to bend my soldering gun (not my tool of choice for pcb work mind you) tip and get to the hard spot. little bit of solder wick to get all the solder out and some careful extraction yielded positive results. I now am down to two caps that vert osc plate and a single .22 upright cat bypass.
the vert osc should be no problem getting access to the bottom not easy but no harder than that last one. the upright one I may have to yell uncle on it.
Of course I could leave it for now. It tested fine with no leakage at all, even at 150v vs the 100v rating. Its a cathode bypass so I dont think it sees much in the way of voltage anyway. Of course if it did short it could possibly damage my vert out tranny so maybe a good idea to replace anyway.
Getting close to intial power up...
