Mistake #3: I didn't order enough caps!!! BLAST.

Just the four small 10uF caps left now! Yipee!!

Only a few minutes after starting, I am halfway done with the main board. Cruising along just fine!

Not long after, I have the first capacitor out. For this build I have ordered my own caps, the Nichicon Muse KZ variety. They are of very comparable size, even with the higher voltage ratings.

Here is how I'd be finding the legs of the capacitors. By using my cellphone's flashlight feature I was able to see them through the board and mark the legs of the capacitors with a black marker.

Oh well, can't let that slow me down, I've got much more to do! I've prepared the 3000 for the main amplifier board cap change by placing it on one end. Notice - I've placed the heavy transformer end on the bottom so the BeoMaster is less likely to tip over while working.

It powers on!!!! Wooohoooo!!! That's definitely something right there. Ok, so let's see how she sounds - give me a sec while I just hook up some spea.... .... .... Mistake #2: Forgot my DIN cables. They are powering my faux BeoVox 2500 at the other house.

Mistake #1: Forgot to bring my hot glue gun. I will temporarily use some bubble wrap. Oh well, I can fix that little detail later - I can't wait to see if it works!!!! I think I'll test it with some music too

Look at all that extra space! I will hot glue them to the metal strap and the base so they won't move around any.

Here comes the easy part, soldering in those new 3300uF caps. Only one wire per leg.
