[sdiy] ARP Odyssey capacitors

[Nicholas Gregorich]

Hello. I am recapping my ARP Odyssey. I have a couple questions.

Should silver mica caps be replaced during a restoration? How about film 
capacitors? For that matter should ceramic disc capacitors be changed?

I've read some advice to replace tantalum capacitors with electrolytic 
when recapping. I don't think any have failed on the Odyssey but maybe 
it would be better to get high voltage rated tantalums if available? It 
doesn't seem like a great idea to replace a tantalum with an 
electrolytic because of their higher ESR.

Can anyone identify the orange capacitors in this photo:

Are they a type of film capacitor (n00b question I'm sure)? They aren't 
listed on the ARP parts list (I found a few other errors on the 
schematics/parts list). I just noticed these caps are on board C as well.

Finally, is the best way to remove the filter module by desoldering the 
filter pins from the main board or desoldering the filter PCB from the 
filter pins?

Thanks!

Nick.
