Hi Matthew,
Nice story... its amazing what some people will do to "improve" the operation of various things.
On a side note I'm also repairing a Wavetek sig gen where ALL the 100uF35v electros have dropped their guts all over the PCBs. Initially I thought it would just be a matter of replacing all the caps but on closer inspection I found that many of the traces and plated holes have been eaten away. So now I'm slowly re-linking various parts of the boards and using very fine wire to reconnect the holes. Its the project I'm working on when I'm not working on something else!
See pics here...
cheers
Tim
