MC2100 Filter Capacitor Repairs

Bob the Tech Audio restores and repairs vintage McIntosh Laboratories amplifiers like this MC2100. One of the power supply filter capacitors on this vintage McIntosh MC2100 had clearly given up. I cleaned the chassis, and replaced both filter capacitors to be sure. I also replaced the RCA jacks and volume controls to address broken and mismatched parts left in the unit by a prior repair shop (visit the Hall of Shame for details). Distortion measures in the 0.1-0.2% range across frequency, looks good!
