Hi David,
What type of capacitors do you suggest replacing the 575 paper caps with, and where do you buy them?
Thank you to all that have contributed to this 575 topic!

There are a number of paper capacitors in the HV section. (Amongst other
locations). I'm sure folks will disagree, but I'd recommend preemptively
replacing them. (Any capacitor described as PTM in the parts list is
paper.)
Be careful with C809, if you decide to replace it, its soldered directly
across T801. The wires for the transformer, which will likely come out
with the capacitor, are (very) fine.

Obligatory: If anyone wants a non-Mod122C, and is in the Dayton Ohio area,
and is willing to pick it up, holler. It has been restored, and was
running last I tried it. (No, I will not ship, sorry)

Thanks for the advice guys: I do normally run stuff up on a variac, and I
will check those fuses are in place. Fortunately I have a supply of many
of the valves used (and a valve-tester): fingers crossed it's not had all
the valves stripped!
