All the filter caps and only the bias caps.

6) 50u+50u multisection 500v cans. Don't get 450v for a Superlead! Not kidding..

2) 10u 160v electrolytics for bias

Every amp place has the right parts. Valvestorm specializes in Marshall.

Valvestorm has what you need on one page: http://valvestorm.com/Products/Componen ... ectrolytic

Without pics of your amp I'm not 100% sure--- but most likely you need:

1) 50/50uF @500V dual cans--- 6 ea.--- the F&T's listed there are very good

2) 10uF@150V bias caps---- 2 ea. -----pick your brand but I've been using the BC's

3) 220uF or 330uF cathode bypass cap--- 1 ea.---- see what value is in your amp now and order the same value---- they're listed under "Cathode Bypass Caps"----- pick your brand.

I don't change the normal channel's bypass. I have never had a bad one.

I'd change it, why not ? Then he'd have all fresh e-caps installed at the same time----- the orig ones almost never go bad, I know but for @$2.50 ? Worth it just so he feels he's done a complete job.
I mostly noticed that we both recommended Valvestorm, writing at the same time---- :lol: 8) ..........................gldtp99
