Help on ancient Audionics CC-2s

Hi folks. I'm a fringe dabbler in audio---now stick to mostly entry-level, as I got cured of my audio addiction after working with Keith Yates Audio and Levinson gear in the 80s, discovering I would never stop, stop, spending or experimenting, so I quit, cold turkey. Yikes.
However, I recently picked up two of my favorite blasts from amp pasts,
Audionics CC-2s for about 99 bucks each, plus shipping, plus whatever repairs/ mods I need. Want to run them in a bi-amping situation. I'm not audio e.e. savvy to do myself---but have an excellent repair shop in my town with folks hip to Audionics, complete schematics, etc. Amps work (one output transistor replaced) but may want new caps. Any suggestions? Black Gates? Thanks much!

Read this if you haven't already
I have a pair CC-2's and have used them for biamping and have run them in mono. The mono configuration sounded best in my system. One of mine needs new caps and if you read the blurb above you will know more about this.

I'm not using them now as one needs new caps. I thought about modernizing them but I have lots of amps. Maybe someday.

I'm pretty sure you connect the two positive speaker outs and flip the mono switch.

I have two. I may sell them. I'm sure they could use some work.

Thanks for the kind words sargonicuse.

I still have one CC-2. It is disassembled at this time. I sold the best one one to Marty. They do sound better in mono given the right speakers. I often used mine with Mirage MI's with good results. Alas my Citation 2's in mono and my Krell bettered them.

If Marty is around, Hello. How are the amps performing these days?
