Hi all, thanks for reading.
I know there are recommended cap changes here:
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/planars-exotics/46477-final-0-3-hybrid-esl.html
Namely: "The ESL section has two caps in parallel. One blue 1mF bypass cap and a small black 33mF bipolar cap.
I replaced the 33mF with a Mundorf Mcap and the 1mF with a 1mF Mundorf Supreme oil/silver.
The woofer section has one intertechnik 2,20mH coil glued to the board. I replaced that one with a mundorf copperfoil coil of 2,20mH. This one is from the crc 12 series (54mm in height).
Oh, before I forget: I desoldered the original powercord and replaced it with thick shielded Belden powercable".
But this aside I wondered if anyone has an actual manual at all? It seems to be like proverbial rocking horse s*** to get hold of.
I've just picked up a second hand pair (pretty much as I was after any set up any time soon (as I couldn't live without ESL's any longer)).
As such there's a host of mods I'll need to do but in the interests of others in future I'll post pics here as they get done.
Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

PS I've just become familair with having to coat the panels now and again etc, the plot thickens and thickens. God knows how to get the covers off.
