Technically, no. But if you are going to refurbish a unit, why not go all the way? You never know what you might want to do in the future or what a future owner might want. If nothing else, replace the electrolytics and tantalums and the 2SC458's. Maybe an extra hour of time to finish a complete refurbish.Ok I did follow that list. Curious , is the phono board needed to be redone if no turntable is connected?
