Replacing caps & resistors on Vandersteens

I own Vandersteen model 1s and I'm happy with them.  I believe they are at least 25 years old.  I removed the speakers and took them to Miller Sound and Bill said they were in excellent condition. I'm told by a trusted friend that I should consider replacing the caps and resistors. I've rebuilt a few vintage jukebox amps so I believe I can handle that but I don't know where they are or if I can even get to them.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Doug

Hey @mr_m

I was going by the caps he uses in his speakers. :)

Best,

I usually start at Parts Connexion.

As I recall, Rich doesn't think much of boutique caps and resistors, which I think is a shame.

I use Mills resistors. Very good, affordable and small for the wattage.
