My Dad bought one when it came out and I still use it today. Your article is spot on. Built to last. Full of Nichicon capacitors, with some ELNA’S and Panasonic’s thrown in there too. I’ve started recapping mine recently, in stages, to keep it going for another few decades. Some small values replaced with film caps since nowadays they are small enough to fit. It’s just getting better. The old caps still test great, at least their capacitance, I don’t have an ESR meter. Just a neat, good sounding quality amp. Thanks for the scans of the literature, very cool!
