Ok, got an almost 28 year old JCM800 2204 that still seems to work fine. Never had a problem with it. I've always read that the electrolytics in an amp need to be replaced after, say 20 years or so. Different sources give varying numbers of years. The amp still seems to work fine. It might hum a tiny bit more than it used to, can't be sure. It might be a little softer in the bottom end. Hard to be objective about it.
Anybody think it needs a cap job? Physically there are no signs of leaking or drying or whatever.
I suppose I could go ahead and replace them and head off any future problems since it will need it eventually. I wonder if it's just the large filter caps for the power supply that get replaced or also the smaller electrolytics like on the preamp?
Thoughts?
