I assume you meant "real life" - unless "like" was a Freudian slip...
And while my own shortcomings are well known and reluctantly conceded, that does not answer the question Phil.
 
The group would really like to know if you indeed exude all the warmth and charm in person as you do on the web? A simple yes or no would suffice.

That's not quite true. Yes, there is a way to know. micky's pattern is pretty obvious; if you didn't know from the first post, the next few hundred should certainly convince you.
 
Need? Well, that's a judgment call. Sometimes you're less aggravated by stupidity if it isn't a surprise. But avoiding aggravation isn't necessarily a priority for everybody.

Not going to get an answer from our resident Tourette Syndrome poster-child.
 
His sort of behavior (here) is not well-tolerated down-under such that unless he is about 6'-6", 240 pounds and a master of Krav-Maga, he would not last very long.
 
Who know?

Just goes to show you, it is not necessary to replace every electrolytic
capacitor that is over 6 weeks old. I've often found that caps I'm
removing when a customer insists on replacing them all are just as good
or better than the new ones. Depends on brand, and the heat in the product.
 
Regards,
Tim

Always that is possible. But as-reported, the symptoms were indicative of age. And in a design as (relatively) bullet-proof and simple as the 1702, that would lead, typically, to age and/or dirt. And, if one is 'in there' the cost of a few capacitors now, vs. another tear-down later is negligible.
 
I restore a lot of vintage solid-state Dynaco products, mostly for fun as they are so basic. To do any level of restoration mostly requires a complete tear-down. So, if part X is bad on channel A, I will do the same part on Channel B as well. There are about US$18 worth of critical parts to be replaced in the typical ST-120, and "doing all" vs. doing only "the one" is about an hour in additional time. I am not paying the bills with my hobby - I am happy that it is self-sustaining at this point. But you get the point, I hope.

One of my first projects was my parents Artone AM, FM and
Phone.
Put it on the bench, plug it in and turn it on.
Pffft. One of the wax paper caps blew it's guts out.
Replace it, and try it again.

Pffft. Yet another one of the wax paper caps blew it's guts out.

Pffft. There goes on of the filter caps.
At this point I'd had enough of this foolishness. I replaced
EVERY remaining paper and electrolytic capacitor.
 
When I get a radio to work on, the very first thing I do is
replace all the paper and electrolytic capacitors. I am not
going to waste my time "trouble shooting" things I know are
bad, or will fail soon.
 
It's not called shotgunning, it's called not wasting my time.

So just to round this out the replacements were
2n2001
2n2005
P4M
Also had to replace a B688
 
PSU now working.
 
Thanks to all who offered assistance and ideas.
