Re: Advice on ARP Odyssey Mk1 power supply capacitors

2008-11-27 by Mrs. Synthfool

The power supply is one of, if not the most, important part of an electronic musical 
instrument.  Replacing old components helps increase stability and reliability.  Plus, just 
because a cap isn't bulging or leaking doesn't mean it's not going to start doing that in the 
near future--these caps are decades old, after all!
