    hello all I have decide to start this discussion group so we can all help each other out when we get stuck on a repair , As we all know Vintage Audio is a Master peice of engineering and Art it was rugged and was built to last and be serviced.
    however today some problems do arise due to differing cap values and chips (IC,s) being unavailable ,However I am sure there are compramises and or new IC,s that will do the same job with different ID No,s this is where you come in tell us about how you overcome these obsticles to get your belove vintage audio working and sounding good as it can with modernday compramises . for example ” electrolytic Caps say a 8700uF at 56volts ” would you substitute that with say a 8200uF at 63 volts ? or 10000 uF at 63 volts ? or wold you paralell caps up to make the value if room permits. its all about sharing our sucesses and failures when it comes to repairs ,also we might be stripping out some vintage gear down for parts and can help another enthusiest out . lets start the community and help each other .
    Thanks for taking the time to read and please be respectful to others and their opinions and their ideas because without ideas we are just Lemmings
