I am interested in recapping a Heath SB401 and a SB301 but I have several
questions.
1 Do you try to desolder each old cap or do you simple cut out the old
ones and add the new ones?
2. Where is a good place, web or otherwise to purchase new caps?
3. I been told that if the electrolytic are to old they will not polarize
correctly. So how do you know?
Thanks for any and all replies.

Also sounds like you need to become acquainted with large mail-order
electronic parts suppliers -- all have Internet (and paper) catalogs) as
well as on-line Internet ordering.
