that ' s not very nice D <| sep |> Well , it does sound like a toddler tantrum . <| sep |> Nothing wrong about wanting to recap . Most of the time you have to unsolder one end anyway to get a proper reading . Wax caps are a nobrainer , others perhaps you can get away with . I ' ve done it with all sorts of different gear , never had a single issue . My Seeburg jukebox amp came back to life after I recapped it , that ' s why they sell recap kits . Lots of techs turn up their noses at people who recap , but the fact of the matter is it solves so many problems , particularly with old gear . A lot of people ' s flat screen monitors used substandard caps in the power supply . A person could know next to nothing about electronics and make a living just picking up dead flat screens replacing the power supply caps and reselling them . Don ' t do it though kids you could DIE from the charge those caps have .
