BTW, I only replaced the caps - I did not re-solder the rest of the board on any of them.

One of mine had been "refurbished" according to the sticker on it. Inside, I studied the board and the parts were all original. It appears that the refurb consisted of nothing more than re-soldering all the joints. I say that because there was a good bit more solder on these joints than on any of my other boards. Also, the shellac had been stripped and a thin coat had been sprayed back on. Anyway, it too was dead. I replaced the six caps and it works great again as well.

Thanks for your help!
