I want to keep my PG collection in good condition. To do this I want to change not only the big PSU caps but also the little ones.
Most amps I have are the M / MS / ZPA series (ZPA is my biggest collection). Some caps have shrunken folies. Can anyone give me advise what are the best options to replace these?
Would Panasonis FC series for example a good option? Did PG use different caps for signal path / PSU or did they use one type for all applications?
Most of the caps have blue colors. It would be nice that the replacement caps are also blue if possible just to stay as close as possible to the original (yes I know this sounds crazy )

I like Panasonic FC series. They are not original color, but I think the blue/gold color is perfect on the gold circuit board.
The big rail caps should only be changed by someone who really knows how to (de)solder and has the appropriate equipment.
There is hardly any electrolytic caps in the signal path. In M-series there is one per channel, MS might have a few more. But I'm not sure which make they are.

Re: Capacitor question
thanks for the replies.
Does anyone know how many electrolyte caps there are in the signal path for the ZPA amps?
