I doubt that's going to be point to point work. Rodman's advice seems solid to me. Tantalum do go bad, but I wouldn't worry about those. Don't rely on the schematic, diagram, or board markings when replacing caps. The working unit is the Bible so just be sure to replace things like you found them. Manuals and board markings are wrong all the time.
Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp?
I have done replacing blown resistors from a tube amp before, but not capacitors.
Replacing capacitors would be as easy as replacing resistors?
I will have an old SS AR preamp which is over 20 years old, and am thinking about replacing all caps by myself, but I'd like to hear any caution or tips of doing the job.
thx

The preamp is AR LS3. The schematic is available on line. https://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.php?pdf=Audio-Research-LS3-LS3B-Schematic... There are 32 capicators. All of them need to be changed? |
