Reviving a Nakamichi TA-3A

It's hard to read that low, was there any lead capacitance involved?
Yes, it is hard to read, but at least it is not 10 pF or more.

I just stuck the two legs of the transistor in my component tester, and that's what it read. I also measured one on my multimeter that has a built in capacitance checker, and the value was about the same. No doubt there is some inter-leg capacitance that will add to the real value (right?), so those measurements are presumably an upper limit.
 
Installed the new relay from Mouser, and the 2W 22kOhm resistors. Set the idling on both channels to 24mVolts ... a very ticklish adjustment. Now everything looks good, and I'll install it for some listening tests!
