[Amps] SB-220 tick,tick,tick

[Steve London]

Yes. I replaced all of the electrolytics and equalizing/bleeder resistors. No 
sense in continuing to use the 40 year old electrolytics - some had a bubble in 
the rubber. I also yanked out the equalizing resistors and caps across the 
diodes. Lots of gunk built up there. Not really needed with modern diodes.

Thanks for all of the suggestions from the list.
