Re-capping is just as it sounds , taking out the old caps , putting in new ones, its 90% of what i do to make sure these machines when i sell them on wont fail any time soon. IMO its imperative to longevity , there are people here that disagree with me , but the parts that fail consistently on these machines are the capacitors , because they are old . Transistor will fail with age , but not anything like capacitors , because of their make up. capacitors have oil in them that over the years dries out and end up either going open or short, neither is good . If you want to learn ....we are all here to teach you .... and believe me , once you get going , its impossible to stop ...hehe

Many thanks for your kind support and offer of help. Will have a think and let you know.
