RE: Revox A50

Hi, Alex:
If the assembly consists of carded circuits, and you have a schematic or can identify the capacitors in question, as long as you match or exceed the voltage rating, but keep the capacitance pretty much according to spec, and OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY, using a low-wattage soldering iron and solder wick, you might enjoy the experience of replacing lots of small caps!
I have done this on some of my old ReVox A-77 open reelers over the years and have a lot of fun doing so.
Sure cuts the overall cost of repairs and preserves the units for the future.
Good luck!
