My 2275 arrived yesterday:
Interesting packing material choice...but it worked!:
Nice and clean!!:
Dove into the recapping right away starting the the P800 power supply board. I decided to snip the wires off the wirewrap posts, clean them off and will simply solder the wires back to the posts when reinstalling the board.
Before:
Caps removed and board cleaned (glue removed) with ArctiClean 1 and my fingernail:
Completed board with new relay and all 105 degree caps (Nichicon KA "audio rated" and 1 Panasonic FC):
Question: I used the ArctiClean kit to clean off the thermal surfaces on H804 and applied a thin film of Arctic Silver thermal compound to both sides of the mica insulator. I used the original insulator since it looked good. is that OK??
Thanks for all the great restoration threads here! It is really helpful to have a plan and know what to do before you start.
