[Hammarlund] Part # of Hammond chokes /recapping questions for SP-600

[Al Parker]

Hi John,
     Carl's right on the caps.  Even the factory changed over to all 
ceramic discs after abt ser. no. 17,500.
     The p.s. filter cap is the only big electrolytic in there.  Tom's, 
at Hayseed, is a good replacement.  Sorry, I don't know of a particular 
direct replacement for the chokes.  Do you suspect a problem with 
yours?  They do fail, but rarely.
