That's actually C103. But as far as the SNAP goes, my God....

I stopped counting at 12 badly soldered connections. And I KNOW I checked them before powering up, but maybe not well enough. This wasn't my recap job, so I'm also in the habit of giving each cap a good tug at each end before moving on to the next.

The cap connected to the focus pot was TOTALLY disconnected. What a mess, everything was falling apart. I'm just scratching my head as to HOW. I don't end up buying a recapped set very often, so I guess as long as it's fixed, that's what matters.

Well, we'll give her another go and see what happens....
