Warning to newbies, work only with one hand when checking with the power on. Use alligator clip to connect DVM negative to speaker return. >24 VDC across your heart can stop it. Wear no jewelry on hands or neck. 1 vdc @ 30 amps can burn your flesh to charcoal. Touch no metal with flesh until checked <1vdc and unit unplugged from AC.
Volume pots often wear out on old amps.

I just downloaded the service manual, C101 and C201 seem like a good place to start looking. I`ll report back with my findings.
Thanks to all who chimed in 🙂

Use bipolar types only. They're overdue for replacement anyway.
What role does that cap play exactly?
