Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp

Well, I guess that I'm a garage operator.... I have always made sure that my rectifiers would handle the current

I've been in garage operation when I was 16, building EL34 100W amplifiers with components I could find around including chassis made of heavy aluminum trays that fish store nearby tossed out, but when it became my profession for the last 40 years I've learned not to do anything that I don't fully understand.  I would like to understand how do you know what peak current thru rectifier is.  Did you calculate it and how, measured it or just used rectifier that seems to be working? Did you consider max ambient temperature or max line voltage?  Did you consider shorted output condition?

Czarivey, there might be individuals who are capable of such Toyota modifications, but I place them in "exceptional talent" category. Friend of my coworker did not like how transmission in his car operated, so he designed and built his own. Certain "arrogance" and great skill are required for that. Rest of us should enjoy what we have, especially when it is really nice piece of high end audio system. There is nothing wrong with caps that match closely original ones.

Well Kijanki,  If you ever need advice in the speaker world, I understand that world  thoroughly.  As far as amps, I'll just stay in the garage.  I've enjoyed doing the few repairs and mods that I've done and to date, I've never damaged anything. So life goes on. I don't call him often for help, but if I ever need him, I've got a guru that is one of my best friends to call on.  All is good in the world. 

Timlub, thanks, I might take you on this offer one day - speaker world is foreign territory to me.  As far as amps go, there is nothing wrong in experimenting, especially if you enjoy it and have guru friend.
