Default Re: Restore a Beau Decca

I would also recommend measuring the voltage across R47 and R48 again.

The larger can capacitors like this used in valve amplifier reservoir and smoothing positions typically have a ripple current rating of 300mA or more (pic is a Radford 5-20 amp). Lower ratings will mean higher ESR and greater dissipation in the capacitor. The rating of the new capacitors is an unknown but I would at least check they are not getting warm.
