The radio scale glass had some scratches. It seemed better to route it away from the power amp AC cables. Checking other TR-2080’s we see that Tandberg drew this cable differently from unit to unit. Also rerouted the new cable differently from how it was. A left over Neotech cable from the TR-1000 restoration. It is not an insane increase, I think it is within reasonable limits. It is hard to believe that these small capacitors can hold that much capacity. From the original 18800uF increased to 26400uF, or by 40 percent. Good thing with this is that it will be easy to replace these without almost any trace. It is a split supply and getting each leg in the right hole. They measured ok but considering the state most caps were in it is best to replace these too. There will be no drilling holes in the power amp board, because with “legged” capacitors it will not be necessary. I bought my favourite Wurth 3300uF/63V caps, already mentioned in part 1. Maybe not absolutely necessary, but who knows what stress they may had to take when the rectifier shorted before I got it. Getting close to be able to test run it, but I want to replace the caps in the power amp supply first. Is the TR-2080 the Aristocrat among Tandberg receivers? Read on and you will find why it may be so.
