Bjorn	Re: Cap value SFSR AB 763 Mike, I’m in NO way an expert on (old) amps OR electronics. What I know about the subject I learned here on Ampage, and from messing around with my Fender amps. As Richie pointed out, the dull brown caps are the ones that probably should be changed in any amp. As you stated – it’s a big cap, but so are the Orange Drops. Concerning schematics and parts (like OD’s), take a look here; http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/ (The Fender Amp Field Guide) most of the data and schematics you need will be found here and http://www.ampwares.com/ (Ampwares) for parts. As regards if the amp is a BF (AB 763) or a SF (AX XXX) only you can know the correct status. Good luck! Bjorn
