Super981, I've been following your restoration, very informative stuff, great pics as well, thanks for sharing. I also have a 2000x, did a little bit of resto, recapped the preamp board, redid all solder connections, as mine looked like yours, glad I left the 871's alone, replaced the 458's on the tone board, but no caps, didn't touch the amp board. Have most of the parts, just kind if lost my nerve, when my issue of weak rt channel seemed resolved. My fm board also has the same crap solder job, and I'm pretty sure I need a realignment, but I'll have to get someone for that.
