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!

A few years ago, I walked into a Boulder camera store and saw a pocket book documenting a "Classic Camera Series - Nikon FE2". Hey, I bought that camera new, a month after Nikon introduced it! Not only that, it was my *second* SLR, after my 1963 vintage Pentax Spotmatic finally quit working after twenty good years.

Well, if the camera was a "classic", what does that make me?

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?

Correction to my post above. Picked up the 2nd CC-2 on 6-13-24 NOT 6-13-23. And so far I love them bridged driving my 6 Ohm, nominal impedance Martin Logan EM ESLs.
