.....BTW, my new caps arrived. Yippee!

Every vintage Altec I've ever recapped sounded noticeably better after a re-cap and thorough cleaning of the crossover pots/L Pads with deoxit (to varying degrees--some sounded surprisingly better, some had more of a subtle improvement but definitely still noticeable). Drum roll, please!
