Skipper 300 recap

The bleeder resistors in the pic above don't do the job in this model. The caps will tend to hold a charge.
You really need a separate resistor across each filter cap to bleed them off in a reliable way.
No need to pull the board back out to do this, though.
This pic is from a 300A model, but the same trick works in your amplifier, stringing the bleeder resistors across the two caps this way.
The resistance can be anything from 220k to 330k, more or less.
Just safer in the long run.
