The rim jo....err cap job was a success!

[ratter]

Thanks to everybody who provided tips and suggestions in my previous thread. I changed caps this morning and everything is up and working and the amp is back to kicking ass. No electrocutions, no (major) burns . Actually wasn't hard at all except for those goddamn mounting rings. I went ahead and replaced the screen grid resistors while I was in there too.

Awesome to hear!

Yeah, working on amps ain't too hard as long as you have patience, the right tools, and the resources in case you have questions.
I must say, my Metro 50 watt kit sounds amazing and I felt a good sense of accomplishment after. I also learned a ton.

Oh, and I did get a couple nasty shocks while working in it lol. I made a nice capacitor draining tool with a resistor and two gator clips. It works great.
