    Hi Lawrence, I’ve just put all back together and forgot the bloody photo
    But I can tell you that it’s totally original and untouched ( like my other one )
    No ugly stuff around the caps just a lot of dust .
    Nice and clean on the exterior now too.

    That just looks fantastic. Do you use it in class A?

    Hi Paul, yes I run it constantly in class A , gets nice and hot too. The sound this produces beats everything I’ve ever owned.

    I am going to recap it though Lawrence either way , just need to get a schematic as the writing on them is difficult to see and I’ve read that Marantz did use different components in these .

    I agree mate and of course it’s a case when not if they fail so I will change all the caps initially then go from there .

    Andy: I've never been so happy. So I'm going to change it.

    What could go wrong?
    If t'were me I'd be wary, and be able to reverse the changes if the magic fled.

    That’s the catch eh ? I mean what actually happens if the caps or whatever suddenly fails? Surely it’s not going to blow the speakers... besides better to have experienced bliss for a short period than to never have tried , life is too short to procrastinate

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    A lot of the old Japanese gear have really high quality capacitors in them. I'd be quite surprised if a recap was necessary. Might just be something you want to do and that's ok, just pick a good a capacitor as you can find for each replacement.
