Wouldn’t that be difficult if they were connected in parallel?

Correct. Since they are in parallel, the only way to test them is to pull them out one by one. Some capacitors only fail under full voltage, so just measuring the capacitance is not enough.

Of course! Thanks
Different front panels???
I recon the first picture showing the innards is not a complete build, the meter panel is missing as are the wires and transformer fixings.
Omitted for clarity?
Change of direction - something mechanical to study - after all the great electronics “insides”.
Here is my 34 year old Linn Ittok LVII, whilst with specialists - Audio Origami - for a bit of tonearm TLC and a “bearing strip / service repair”…
Image 1 : Start - complete tonearm with just counter weight missing.
Image 2 : Underside of antiskate and vertical tracking mechanism.
Image 3 : Antiskate and VT tracking removed, base of bearing assembly / housing can be seen.
Image 4 : Another view of lateral bearing housing, with outer casing removed.
Image 5 : The 5 pin din tonearm wiring base connection being removed.
Image 6 : Bearing assembly removed.
Image 7 : Finally - inside - housing and bearings laid bear for all to see.
At this point, bearings can be inspected and replaced, if necessary. As well as housing being cleaned and new lubricant, before re-assembled as above - in reverse order, etc.
My sincere thanks to the brilliant Johnnie

I appreciate this is a little off topic but, I’d love to hear your thoughts on your arm post service. I’m thinking about the same for my Ittok, probably with a rewire too
Correction 2011 model.
Hi @audioade. In this case, my much loved LP12 c/w Ittok went in to my dealer for TLC. A “swing test” very quickly asked questions about these bearing and so it went off to a specialist - Audio Origami - for further investigation.
It only natural after 30+ years these bearing might need to be considered. They get a lot of wear.
No decisions were made about internal wiring, so can’t comment on this aspect.
Hope this helps you?
