Well done, well done!

I have one of these in route from the UK as I type. Any questions, please ask.

Had I achieved what you did, after all that, I venture to say it would have been a bottle of wine, as opposed to the more restrained glass of wine. Salute!

Replaced the remaining big caps, I've held them in place with a spot of epoxy until I can come up with something more permanent...... 

I would use hot glue (i.e. hot glue gun). The glue dries immediately but can be pried off in the future the next time that capacitors need replacing. 

Or better yet, get the

Beolover kit is a true beauty.

Hot glue and adhesive felts (the ones you put under the chairs legs) will do the trick to keep the original brackets with smaller caps. I did this way, and the result is not that bad.

Never thought of using a hot glue gun, will give it a go. Meanwhile I have a new reed relay on order so set about removing the failed component...the 24vdc relat in question is second from the bottom

Un soldered the two red leads and removed as much of the surplus solder as I could from the right hand connection tab, with a little heat to melt the remaining solder I was able to bend the right side tab back away from the reed relay connector thus freeing one side..un soldering the left tab allowed me to draw the switch out from the coil...….

However the patient didn't survive the procedure! so it's just as well it was kaput because it was never going back.....I'm expecting the installation of the new one will be more straight forward
