not an amp but still capacitors
I have a Studer tape machine that failed on me a few years ago. It would power up, but when you spooled up a tape and hit rewind, ........nada.
My tech told me "it’s probably the power supply capacitors. I have them in stock bring it over". As I waited and watched in amazement, if you have ever seen the inside of one of these machines; he checked out the power supply capacitors, and they were showing/testing "like new" . Huge things and I remember Made in West Germany labels.
The new, replacement ones were sitting on the table. So do we switch them out I asked. He said "No, I wouldn’t touch those."
