To me the golden age of solid state Japanese receivers would be early 70's to late 70's. I have fond memory's owning or lusting after them.
We know most of that great gear is past its expiration date today. Can this gear truly be rebuilt to near spec and be safe to use? Yes, most electrolytic caps can be had but there is much more to it than that.
