Hi Alan, I have finally started the cap substitution on my R2R. If you don't mind I will probably ask a few questions here and there form time to time. The firs though is : what did you use to clean the circuits boards ? thanks salvo

Hi Alan, I just wanted to say hi and you've done a great service to the community with your posts on the RS1500. I love these machines and have had several of them in the last 20 year. Now I have purchased another one to supplement my Studer A810 and I plan to do exactly what you have done. I am...
