Re: Akai GX77 recap - which ones to change if any?
Thank you all for your suggestions, there is a lot of knowledge on this forum that I am most grateful for!
I personally am not in favour of wholesale recapping, particularly a difficult deck such as this. That is why I sought help to clarify my mind.
I have done a cap and trimmer change on my Revox A77 but as 10 caps were duff and it’s not a hard deck to do I was happy to do it.
A problem of wholesale component change is, as John mentioned, collateral damage - so easy to do.
In view of this and various points contributed I am going to check the frequency response and various caps then make a decision on how best to proceed, I’ll keep you posted.
