Leaky capacitors need replacement?
Replaced my RM10 caps with the Nichicons George recommended in 1st paragraph, thanks George!.  All is well except the bias won't zero down and there seems to be a low hum over speakers at idle which I don't think was there before.  When the caps w...

TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ?
