Everyone,
I took the Amp to the tech today and he found that a loose solder joint on the resistor in the signal path caused huge amounts of voltage into the cap. I saw his meter hit 130 before he powered the amp down. After re-soldering the entire contact points, he hooked up his tester again and the voltage stabilized at 65.
I am now going to replace all four caps with Blackgates from Michael Percy.
I showed him all of your thoughts and asked him to test for each of the items. I also took the schematic that he used as well.
Thanks again.
