RE: Tell me all about it...

Yes, if you pay a tech for recapping it will cost quite a bit. I usually do that kind of job myself, it is not complicated on a modular machine like the Revox. It is smartly put together, you take one board out and work on it. Do it one board at a time.

I try to do as little as reasonable, I am against the wholesale recapping. People have created tons of issues by doing it. Especially when they do it in one shot. One lifted pad, one broken trace and your machine can turn into a brick.

I do have a machine just like that one. Unfortunately, it is in NAB, which I don't use...
