I had my Topfield apart twice for capacitors. Initially is was thought
that only a couple of values had problems but then a couple more years
down line it was found that other capacitors in the power supply failed.
The failure was progressive and caused some power supply output voltages
to rise significantly and if left too long took a out a tuner
transistor. Luckily all of this was fully documented by users and the
instructions for repair could be found on line.
