Hello
Just got mine back from the repair guy. He insisted that a full restoration was not necessary so we went for a typical service/recap.He gave me a bag full of caps,cleaned the whole thing on the inside and everything. I let it rest for a day to allow any chemicals to dry,and tested it. There are no more scratchy sounds when I use the knobs,the sound is overall clearer BUT at the phono stage I got a slight decrease in volume. It kinda gets better when I use the loudness switch,but I remember I didnt have to use that before.
Sorry for spamming your thread, but I thought since you know the whole thing inside out you could help
Congratulations on the great job btw!!!!Stunning!
