I have a Heathkit Stereo I built in 1975, it has several dozen Electrolytic Capacitors in it, and it still works...

My understanding is that these old parts could run forever unless they were underpowered overpowered or not powered at all. I have a battery charger from the 70s that works better than anything you can buy today. Too bad your radio can't start my boat lol

For anyone still following I have ordered the new amplifier, this time it's a more modern aftermarket part vs the original. This one comes with a different ignition coil as well. I have my fingers crossed. I have also ordered new points as well. I figured why not it will complete the new ignition system. After these parts arrive the entire ignition system less the key switch will be new.
