Wise choice, replacing the electrolytic, you don't want a potential failure point in your recapped networks, correct?

If the rivets rare connected to the plate securely (and this appears to be the case), there should be no worries. The construction is different than the Model 19 and there isn't a picture of the mask side of the board, at present. This would show if the ground plane of the network board is grounded to the plate which is attached by rivet. As I mentioned, probing between ground points, measuring resistance, will turn up any abnormality's. To me, it is a non-issue.

As soon as they call I'll pick up the caps and solder them into the first speaker for testing (A/B comparisons) the same day. I didn't even know that the 470 uF was an electrolytic cap. I'm glad you said something. I just called and had them add two 470 uF 100v electrolytic capacitors to my order. The ones in there now are 50 volt, I assume there's no problem switching to 100 volt is there? They are 470 uF, same value as the ones that are in there now....

So, the lugs/rivets are ground lugs/rivets? Should I solder a wire between all seven rivets just to be sure I've got a good common ground (similar to what I'll be doing with my Model 19's)? Or is this not necessary with these crossovers?
