Thank you Steve. This article was a great help. I don't think I'm going to replace the power transistors as mine seem to be fine. However, I know where to go if I ever need to. I DID replace the grease on all of them with the newer compound, so maybe it'll help them live longer.

Hi Walt, I'm very happy to hear of your success; congratulations! And thank you for letting us know. The 3070 really can be a very nice little amplifier. Will be happy to help if anything else comes up.

Phono input is fine as well. It appears I have not screwed anything up yet.

I replaced Q201 in the preamp, replaced the 2 output caps with 4700uF and replaced ALL the electrolytics. I sounds pretty good! The lo cut problem is not there, so I assume it was a bad cap in the preamp. I have not tried the phono input yet.

It appears I have it correct, just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the comments. Getting close to done on the re-cap. Try it soon.
