Hyperion I can't seem to find the oval capacitors thread >.<
Here it is

Also will you be changing the JFETs in this one - the 2SK129 package? If so what would be good substitutes ?
No, why? there is no need, regarding substitutes I would have to research the availability of originals or suitable discrete JFET's to use instead.
Also I read somewhere that some 919s (depending on their vintage) have different cap values - just wondering what caps values are in this new one you're doing and if they do in fact deviate from the service manual values? This is quite confusing wouldn't the right thing to do is to always follow the sm?
Or did Sansui print two of these sm's?
See the page towards the end of the recon thread for my AU-919 for a list of differences I found, I expect this one to be no different. See my note in the first post of this thread where I make a commitment to note any additional differences or other peculiarities, should I find any.
Also 'rule of thumb' is to trust the component values/voltages that are in the amp NOW - and not rely on the SM & schematic of which there are only one of each as far as I know. This is why it is SUCH a disaster when someone has been into an amplifier changing things around without knowing what they are doing - it gives you no point of reference.
Ohhhhhh dirty pictures..... droool
More to droool over later on Mike
