I understand that. What I mean is, many folks recommend summarily replacing electrolytics of this age as a matter of good practice. You don't, and I'm wondering why; if there's a reason aside from 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'?

Yes, on the SP-10 MKII there are only three capacitors that need changing, all others are just perfect. Changing them all needs thorough testing afterwards, so why bother ?

Next, remove the guts from the other one, send it to Einric_99 who is making the plinths, then get it repainted.

Looks great, what was the metal finishing process ?

I had the opportunity to talk to my brother-in-law Steve today, and got some clarification of what was done. The specifics are as follows;

Abrasive wheel to remove the old paint and corrosion.
Etching primer for aluminum
A 2-part 'glazing putty' was used to fill the deep bits
Then it was normal autobody process from there -
Prime
Sand
Paint
Clearcoat (a bit of flattening agent was put in the clear to cut the gloss to my specific request)
