Im going in deep boys and girls ! Got a very nice looking KA-7100 for 10bucks a few weeks ago with some other stuff. Time to get me cherry popped so to speak . It has 3 bad leaking caps. I have read Leesonics post, and it was a great read and gave me enough info to dive in. I matched all CAPS in my amp to his list and all but one matched and it was a replacement so will follow Lees guide. My only issue is what do foil CAPS do , and should i change out the transisters also..You all are the bomb and thanks to Grumpy for putting this site together the knowledge is awesome

Looking good. If you don't have any kind of current limiter, search for Dim Bulb Tester and read about them. It'll help protect the unit from major failures in case something goes wrong as you're moving through your recap.

Thanks for that, I have saw threads and will go to hardware store to get the socket i have everything else.
