First light Adrian, congratulations.

The best course of action with the main smoothing block is to restuff it with modern capacitors. You get peace of mind that it's electrically sound, and you get to keep the original can with its markings, which usually includes the month and year of manufacture.

I can show you the method I use to do this, just ask.
