LOL ... a butcher is funny. And this is not the worst set of caps. While inspecting it, I wondered why the oil caps connected to the diodes where glistening, and after touching them, I realized it's the oil from the cap! The diodes are these canister diodes that I've never seen before and they don't have continuity either way. The worst however are the 500V 100uF caps. They're all corroded on the bottom.
The good amp has diodes that look like avalanche diodes (teardrop shape), but I cannot tell what the specs on them are. I cannot get a hold of the Fujii diodes listed on the schematic either. I'm just wondering what is an equivalent (or higher rated) replacement.
The caps and resistors are easier to replace.
