The old components. All semiconductors and caps (Diodes, transistors, ICs, capacitors) have been replaced including the PA1001, PA3001, PA3004, HA1197 ic's which were sourced from ebay, new old stock. The only semiconductors that were not replaced were those 2SK FETS found in the tuner RF part. I didn't want to touch the tuner since it was working OK. Practically everything else except the resistors (they were all in spec) in the tone board, flat amp, power amps was replaced. High power resistors found in the power supply were also replaced with higher wattage ones. One hell of a job, and cost me quite a lot ( especially those NOS components). Hope you've enjoyed reading this thread! Thank you!
