Good to know. I will be running a head clean and demag. I'll be turning it into a mini restoration project.

I have a CCR-81 and a CCR-82, both are running great with only 
replacing the belts. Audio is just fine and my Model 200 can load 
programs off of 30+ year old cassette tapes.

I'm not confident that the capacitors will need replacing.

There are two factors at play here.


Firstly... in the PC era a major manufacturer of capacitors had a 
failed run with a stolen electrolyte.  That caused major issues for 
5 or so years as devices failed with cap issues.



That's not normal.  I've got audio gear from the 70s and 80s that is 
running beautifully.   Built long before  the 2000s cap 
manufacturing issues.



Secondly... It's normal to replace caps in valve gear... It's also 
normal to replace the carbon composition resistors in them as well.  
It turns out that components made in the 40s and 50s didn't have the 
longevity.



My advice is to replace the belt and run the device first.  Don't do 
work unless it's needed.
