I have a C-16 that I like very much also. A very nice preamp.

Melissa Manchester, Just You and I. She had such a strong, pure voice but could also sing incredibly delicately. I have a MFSL recording she released - one of the few LPs I take out to play any longer.

After replacing the power supply capacitors which were an interesting dual cap model with 4 Nichicons from Mouser of the same values and best esr profile I could get, the amplifier came back to life. I made a PC perf proto-board replacement to hold the 4 capacitors modeled after the one sold on Ebay, soldered some stiff wires into the perf board, and fitted it in to replace the old capacitors. I will still need to give it stress test, but all appears to be good now. The hardest part was getting the old caps out, which I did by a combination of cutting the legs with a dremeal tool and removing the remaining soldered stubs and cleaned the wholes needed for the replacement board.
