Thanks for all the great info so far!
After some looking around, I found this guy on Ebay selling a set of PS caps. Does this look like a good way to go? It also includes the rectifier and the bias filter cap.

David, when you said that you usually replace the two resistors, which ones do you mean? Another question... Are the bumble bee caps all of the black ones? It looks like I have 6 in my amp. If you guys think they should go then they go.

While poking around in the amp, I noticed a metal "disc" stuck between the chassis and the big filter cap (C29). Well, it used to be part of the thermistor. How was this originally attached to the thermistor? I *guess* I should put it back on!

Thanks again for all the help. You guys are a wealth of information.
