I am planning to begin my first restoration project on an SX110 that I
purchased on Ebay. I have not done a restoration before and would
appreciate any advice anyone could offer. The unit is in very good
shape and after doing a general cleaning I plan to recap it. To replace
the capacitors should I unsolder them completely or can I cut the
original leads leaving the leads soldered in place and splice in the new
capacitors? It seems that splicing would be easier but is it the best
way to do the job? Should I replace all the resistors or should I
replace only those that test out of tolerance? Any guidance anyone can
offer in tackling my first project would be appreciated. Thanks, Rudy
