The brand spanking new one from Radio Shack read 98k with the DMM....so the old one was not very far off or is that a big enough difference? And did you have any really shiny caps (original stock) in the amp that are 20uf and 25 volt? They look chrome...did you replace those ?

yes no loud explosions yet...the caps were Sailor proof with arrows going to negative lol. The neat thing about the Maggies is that the chassis have little nubs going up all over the place to make an easy ground....
Yep, mos' definitely. Resistors are usually five percent tolerance but the new carbon film are just better is how I understand it.
