Well, it wasn't great, that's for sure. I was surprised to find a brand new capacitor in that condition. A 25 year old electrolytic, maybe. But this was a premium cap. Still, I made lemonade and got Kimber Kaps for all the medium size caps, Auricaps for small, and Black Gates for the large capacitors. That turned the repair into an upgrade.

The design is good, sounds good, and the chassis looks great too. So I overlooked the bad cap and I'm just glad to have it in tip-top shape now. I bought several brands of NOS and current production tubes, so I have a variety of spares for it. Should keep it going forever.
