I'm just trying to set up my revox pr 99 myself: I bought an alignment
tape and I've tried to follow the procedure. It seems that all is
going well... (forgive me but these are my first alignments..), I've
got a recorded signal that's pretty similar to what's on the SOURCE
signal.

The problem is that on the SOURCE I have a signal that's a lot weaker
in the low end that what is coming in.

You have bad coupling caps. If you have the monitor switch set to source,
you are listening just through the line amplifiers and not through the
tape itself or the record or play EQ. So if this is affecting your low
end, you have bad coupling caps in the line amplifier stages.

I would have a tendency just to shotgun out all of the Philips electrolytics
personally. Just because if some are bad, others will soon follow.
