I have already on the way the quad cap, from Antique Electronics.
And I did buy an FM3 "rebuild kit" from a guy on the bay.
We'll see how it sounds after those replacement assuming I am successful with the component replacements.
I have read that the boards are super fragile at thei age now, and would not surprise me if develops into an issue for me.
After careful listening vs. my Sony ST-J75 the FM3 seems rolled off in the highs, which I have read is not unusual complaint for it, although the
FM3 bass was more "weighty" and the midrange more airy and realistic to my ears.
I did recently order a vacuum desolder gun, a small cheapo version, not the $350 HAKKO. So that will be an interesting test also.
