Yeah, I know about the caps. I haven't done the transistors yet but I am done with all the diodes.

I've done circuit work before so it's not a major hassle for me. There are guys out there refurb'ing them so it's doable. Digikey and Mouser have all the parts so far and I have a few other places for hard to find parts. We'll see how it goes.
