"I need to replace the 'time bomb' 0.47 caps on my Revox A700"

How do you know that?

Not to be harsh, but if you think that some particular component needs replacing and you can't figure out how to access it, maybe you're not the guy I'd want working on my Revox. Find somebody in Nashville, and send it there.

I thought everybody knew about them. My tech calls them "firecracker caps." Several exploded in my Revox A-77 before I got them all replaced. That was before the thing caught on fire.

  On the other hand, my still pristine-looking A77 Mk IV has had no such issues.
  
  About 10 years ago (mid 2000s), I sent it up to Nashville for a couple of minor physical repairs (brake bands, slightly bent reel spindle), and had a head alignment and electronics check-up, and it's all at or better than factory spec. There was no discussion about "firecracker caps".

    Well, good luck and keep an eye (and ear) on it. You'll know when (and if) it happens.
