[GreenKeys] Off topic: variable transformer

[Jeffrey D Angus]

Why is there such an aversion to replacing electrolytic capacitors?
The electrolytic capacitors available today are cheaper, smaller and by far,
much better than anything sold in the past.
And on the subject of reforming, "May take hours."
Why not spend the time replacing it and be done with it.

I restore vintage tube gear for a living.
After doing the usual "is something is shorted?" checks, the first thing I
do is replace the capacitors. All of them.
"Shotgunning!" you say, that's not being a technician.
No, it's called an effective use of my time.
The stuff works 99% of the time, that other 1% is when I get to play
technician and find out what else is wrong with the equipment.
