Default Re: Bush TV22 Mk2 - first approach using a variac

Many thanks for your quick reply. This makes a lot of sense to me too. Even though I understand and appreciate the concept of patience - and you surely made a point there too, as proven by your own EF80 TV22 - sometimes it takes someone else's opinion to counteract one's gambler's mentality.
I'll do a shopping list for all caps. Do you have any recommendations regarding a supplier? I know that Just Radios in Canada sells polypropylene caps with unusual values (by today's standards), such as 5 nF, but we obviously can get by with the usual 4.7 nF plus or minus 10%. Regarding the electrolytics, I'm not really into restuffing the old cans, not even the dated ones (I'll keep them though, together with the waxies, as part of the history of the set), but it would be great to get new ones as close as possible in size and appearance as the originals. Many thanks once again!
