Ampeg SVT opinions

Ampeg SVT opinions
I would appreciate some advice on an SVT a buddy of mine wants worked on, Here goes;  
 
are the EI 7247's good replacements or should I go NOS?  
 
 
 
Can 100/100 LCR's be used to replace the 100/40mfd FP cans on the chassis with out any problems other than mounting?  
 
The FP cans are isolated from the chassis so the sections can be run in series...  
 
the LCR's are about a 1/3 the cost of the AERO fp's and the LCR's are closer in mfd values...  
 
 
 
The amp has it's original caps and preamp tubes.  
 
 
 
Are there any other common problems with SVT's that I shold be on the look out for?  
 
 
 
Thanks in advance  
 
 
 
Marc
