Pretty much all are the original Dubiler and one .0022 mustard. Though these transitional 68-69 amps came with the .68 mustard bypass caps, we put in two Philips chicklets for now. The tone stack and mix caps are RS. The OT is typical for a 68.

I think the .056 Hunt's are still on e-bay. I got one but whether it's in or out, I cannot hear a difference in tone. Reversing the polarity however, definitely can be heard. :wink:

Yeah I have one of those and a Dublier also. But this is one part Marshall was consistent with. To refurbish correctly it really needs the dame one. It ma kes me wish I robbed one out of an old PCB Marshall I had
