Not really. :whistle: What is up with quoting yourself multiple times? Also quoting others multiple times and giving the same answers each time? Also quoting people then posting no replies? Just asking because it seems you have never used a message forum before and are clicking QUOTE and REPLY at random. (n)o_O

Your words not mine. Just asking in order to make it easier to read and comprehend. SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO USE ALL CAPITALS AND IT IS HARD ON THE EYES. when you use no punctuation it is hard to follow especially when no capitals are used along with no periods it is hard to separate sentences and things flow together sometimes two sentence halves start to make sense until you realize there are two different sentences and the you have to back track and read it again and try to separate them that's all I was saying but you do what you think you need to do
 
I recapped the skipper I did well I think until.last 22uf cap that connects to the top plate of tubes was put in backwArds ++ with the 47uf it went kapow!!! And exploded took out new caps I put in probably. I start over. Tubes still light up so all hope may not be lost or I got parts amp one of the two
