Thanks Bandersen!
My background is restoring solid state receivers, amps, reel to reel, etc. Having said that, doing this new to me project is definitely an exploration into a new world. As in the solid state world, small value capacitors end up being either ceramic disc or metal film. So for say a 0.1uf cap, this always ends up being a film - usually polypropelene - capacitor. I take it that it's fine to use these for the small value caps?
I'm finding this chassis pretty challenging because someone at some point has been inside this chassis and already bypassed the original metal can Caps, including the multi section one. So far, I've been able to get the values on these, although there's been some leakage from the original caps (big surprise). Some of the leakage has reached the replacement caps, so as I said before, it's been a bit of a challenge reading some of these.
