So after recapping the a Focusrite Red 6 for a friend and having such an improvement in sound, I decided to do a global replacement on my 1976 24 channel API. I have just replaced parts as needed over the years. I ordered mostly Nichicon Muse caps for audio and FG series for the odd values. There are 10 AI caps in the 528C and 7 in the 550a.
This was encouraged by the use of a FG 300 Hakko used on the Focusrite. It makes things so much easier. I've been doing the channels and EQ's but will be doing all modules including summing and booster amps along with Echo and Cue modules. I'll post other pictures if your interested.
The magic is in the simplicity of the design.
