Default Tried to recap a tube receiver, and failed.

It's obviously easy to shotgun replace parts when something fails, but
if that doesn't solve the problem, nothing's been done to figure out
where the problem lies. As it now stands, the capacitors have been
changed and there is still a problem.



Some restorers claim that over 80% of the are capacitors are leaky.
They replace them all, because the others are going to fail, and its
easier to do the repair ONCE instead of pulling the chassis every year
or two to check the few that were good.
