Indeed James. I am just passing along my experience. At that studio they
also had a Neve VR that required similar recapping, very often.Some very
expensive techs worked on that board. They all said that the Neve
modules run very hot and dry out the caps. In my experience all large
format consoles have maintenance issues. How often would you consider
"regular" for recapping Neve's, SSL's etc.?

And do you know a way to say if the board needs recapping?
Since I dond't know the sound of a "new" Hendrix, I can't tell if the
caps are to be replaced in the used board, can I?
