I recently picked up a NAD 7020 Receiver. It's functional, but the tuner drifts. I'm under no illusions - it would benefit from a recap, but I'm seeing anecdotal info that says it has upwards of 70-80 caps in it. Gosh that would be daunting. I see there are kits available online for the 3020 (amp only cousin), but cannot find a kit for the 7020. Any thoughts? Maybe focus on Power Supply and tuner and a few other areas?
With that many caps, I'm guessing I don't want to go with desolder wick or a suction bulb. Would you recommend investment in a desolder station? And yep I know the boards are flimsy and the traces are thin and weak.
Many years ago I had a 3020 and just loved it. I'm kicking myself for getting rid of it, but I was raising a family and had other priorities at the time. This is my attempt to get back in.
