I am about to embark on a recap of my 3000A and am in the process of compiling a parts list. I have read many threads on recapping and I know Sam Cogley did one just like this but I still have a couple quick questions. I do not want to get involved in the tuner section if I can help it. The tuner works great and seems to be aligned almost perfectly. Here is a list of the other boards on the service manual that I am looking at. The big caps are obvious targets. There are 5 of them. Which boards should I concentrate on?
1. EQ Board
2. Control Amp
3. Driver Board
4. Pre Power Board
5. Ripple Filter Board
There is also an axial cap near the transformer that is 1000uF 10wv. Should that go as well? I have a pic of it attached. I also noticed a very small cap(1uF 25V) located on the selector switch. Has to go to?
One last question. On the Pre power board, there does not appear to be any elec caps, only the flat green ones. Is it safe to assume these are ok?
Thanks for any insight!
