I think I have some caps to put in parallel. If not, my brother should. I'll let you know what happens.
As for the discharging, would leaving the set unplugged for a day do that? If not, which is the cap I should discharge? I think I have a high wattage ceramic resistor I could use.

OK on cap, I tend to notice those things.
Discharge the cap that you use to sub. If you dont it can be charged
up to 125V when you move it to the 24V & bad things can happen.
In the all tube days we would just ground the neg of the
cap & touch the sections one at a time. Anything solid state
we would hang it in, turn on, see results. Then discharge
& do the next section. Gotta be more careful, transistors
are not forgiving like tubes.
BTW its good you had to readjust after the recap. It shows
you did have bad caps.
If you still have the jail bars after above I have the Sams out & me
& the other cats will try to help you along.....
