Default Revox E36 vs F36/G36 power supply question

Hi everyone,

I’m enquiring to find out if by chance anyone happens to know if a Revox E36 has inside it the same chassis carrying the 3 can capacitors and selenium rectifiers as the F36/G36 do. I have to service a Revox machine which is either an E or F36 and have not seen the machine yet but have already started building a new chassis for it with 9 new filter caps and silicon rectifiers. The machine is overseas and will have just 2 days to service it. All I know is that the machine suffered from hum which in my mind points me to the filter caps! The trouble is that I’m not sure if it happens to be an E36 if this has exactly the same L shaped bracket that holds the 3 electrolytic caps and rectifiers just like the F and G 36 do. The reason I’m building my own chassis to replace the old one is that the Revox can caps are mounted with twist locks and can’t be restuffed and therefore irreplaceable. Going down the Nagravox route is not an option the owner wishes to take.
If anyone has any images they can share of the insides of an E36 I would be most grateful please.
I attach a photo of the chassis I’m building which has already got on it the transfer M4 holes ready to fit an F36! Also attached is an image of the original chassis taken from Nagravox site.
Many thanks

PS...The machine is an F36 so at least I now know what to expect.
