I figure its a dual switching for both channels but I cant seem to match it up so far size wise and I dont know how many ohms it is maybe 10k. The gain pod says AT503c on it and alps has these pods listed ...

I have done recaps on my m44 m50 but now Im on the ms250 and its alot more work. I didnt get the main rail caps for any of them but I fell it would be a mistake not to do them also on the ms250 since its so much work to get it apart. The m50 & 44 are easy to take apart so no big deal. So Im maki...
