[HAM] Hammond A100 and red caps.

[Don Whitehead]

I have a hammond A100 that is in pretty good shape, but I think the sound could be alittle clearer.  I was thinking of changing the original capacitors (wax paper 1964) to the red capacitors I seem to hear about so much. I read that the original capacitors were only meant to last about 20 years max.  A friend of mine, who is a hammond techinician, said he thought the organ sounded good, and that installing the red caps will take the "warm" sound away and make it sound more "electronic".  I don't get any "hum" or cracking, etc. from the organ. I'm not sure if I should change them.  Was hoping someone here could give me their opinion on this.
