Well a minor hic-cup, there was a strange smell and then a pop and one of the suppressor caps has decided to blow up. This was an X rated type + 100R, but smaller than the other original one, so must have been replaced sometime in the pre-amps life. I would have liked to have replaced it with one of the original types, but slim chance of that I guess. For future reference,can the original types have new components fitted inside.i.e. do the boxes open ok?
Mike.
