I picked it up last Thursday.
My initial thoughts are its not bad for its age but needs some tiding up. What I have notices is the large greeny coloured TCC electrolytic as show in the pic in post #1 has a lead that has pulled away from the board and taken some board track with it (I will get a pic when I can). This explains the continuous mains hum that it has (its not working that badly to be honest). Also the 10" original Elac speaker as a very small tear in the cone which is causing noticeable horrible flapping sound. I'll repair this with some thin garden weed cloth that I have (the mesh type) with some PVA adhesive.
If its working and (I will give it a thorough check over) is it worth changing any components at all??
I'm planning to put a new 12" celestion alnico blue in it.
Many thanks
Rob
