[QUOTE="humfr33, post: 1086618, member: 24850"] Hi everyone! I had a general question around restoration of vintage amplifiers and receivers (specifically solid state in the instance). Say you have a unit that is in working condition - it works as expected and is to your understanding original. If you wanted to do a restoration on the unit (aside from any model specific parts that need replacing/checking) what general pieces of work (both diagnostic and replacement) need to be done to ensure relative hassle free operation in the future. This is what I have found through my reading, can anyone suggest additional items to add to the list? [list] [*]Replace all the electrolytic capacitors [*]Replace bulbs (possibly upgrade to LED) [*]Clean out pots and switches [*]Check DC offset and address if its an issue [*]Set Bias [/list] [/QUOTE]
