I sat there for 2 or 3 minutes before pressing send, thinking about
whether I should put a smiley at the end or not.  Since some people
believe in the 'soak it and move it' routine, I figured I'd leave the
smiley off; that way the post is applicable to both sides of the argument.

Back on track, one popular thing to do with old gear is to recap the
power supply and other electrolytic caps.  Panasonic has discontinued
a lot of their good replacement caps (HF/HFS I think).  What are people
using now when they do a recap?
