I have recently acquired a near mint Luxman R-3055. Looking to restore back to new or better performance. It belonged to an older fellow and it hasn’t been powered up in years. Was in the original box, packaging and manuals. If you blinked it appears new. It was so clean there was no dust inside. One capacitor @c169 had some leakage which could be glue as it tests okay. I have a nichicon FG on the way to replace it.
So here is the question, what should I replace to make it good for the long run?
I have sourced all 75 electrolytic capacitors and have found elna silmic II, nichicon FG or better and mundorf for the two large power filter caps.
Should I go for it or what should be done. I have no reason to believe the output transistors, power transformer, diodes or opamps aren’t in good condition. I did find a service sticker from 1987.
There is zero indication from visual inspection that any work has been done. It’s clean and totally original. Except for the goo out of C169 it’s pristine.
Some of the capacitors were marked? Does that mean anything.
