so I used the same soft recovery items as rec'd by TPC in Canada around that time. I don't remember the codes or brand. But we snubbed them anyway, followed by 3 (triode amp) and 4 (pentode) big brown 470uf 400volt Nichichemicons, bypassed.Slammmm?!!! you betcha!
also see over at Tubes re the typical commie GZ34's of the 90's! Fwhoop!!!!
Original NoS type filter caps were even worse, burrrppp, the Wima MKP's coupling caps were far nicer than the OEM visconols, and, they last.
