[Vintage-Audio] 'Lytic caps needed for Scott amp.

Tue Jun 11 21:02:01 2002

None of these cans have been available for years, probably decades. These
were also custom made units for H.H.Scott, and not "off the shelf" units.
The ONLY way to solve this problem is to remove the contents of the cans,
and rebuild them using individual components. This issue is one of the major
reasons why these old Scott units, which sound great when working up to par,
have so little resale value.
