Ed, I changed several of the caps in this set about 6 months ago, and went over all the bad connections. This time she don't want to spend more then $125. I thought I would give it one try, and see what happens. She paid $50 up-front, and I didn't gaurantee a cheap repair would be possible. I will check the cap you suggested, and if the set still don't work, then the estimate will go up to $300+. She won't want to spend that much on it, so I will be off the hook. Thanks for your advice.
