Lolo: Be careful, even if its not plugged in tube equipment can carry a wallop!!! Caps can and will store high voltage. High Voltage!! If you are not familiar with tubes/voltage I would forget about doing it yourself. If someone knows more about exactly what you have they may correct me, but better safe than sorry.

We like you the way you are.

Sincerely, I remain
