Hi, Folks!
I have recently considered selling a Fisher 400-CX-2 I have owned for a few years. I have not operated this preamplifier in a while. Assuming that it still operates (acceptably, with low residual hum) with all original parts, would I be foolish to install new electrolytics and such, in an effort to ensure improved performance?
My goal is to see how it compares with several of my other preamplifiers before deciding to offer it for sale. OTOH, I akready went ahead and ordered fresh large electrolytics as replacements for the fifty-year-old originals on-board.
I am somewhat aware that changing out parts may inherently reduce collector value to a degree.
If you were me, what would you do?
Thanks!
