I only refurbed one AR88 and that was enough...…. David in Post #3 makes a good point that has possibly been overlooked? I disconnected and tested for leakage all of the "Micamold" caps inside the mixer-oscillator box. They are fiddly to get at but all of mine were leaky and were replaced. You mention that you've addressed the PIO bathtub jobs but what about the Micamolds? Cheers, Jerry
