So I was about to swap out my ADM5 for my ADM3a with my ALTAIR and realized while I did replace the electrolytic and tantalum caps on the main board, I didn’t change the electrolytic caps on the analog board behind the tube.
No big deal except that the rubber cup is on the top where I can’t get to it without removing the tube and you aren’t really supposed to remove the tube till you discharge it under the rubber cup. So chicken or the egg?
I didn't work on any ADM so I can't say. Just recall being taught to take this heavy gauge stranded wire, attached to a 3 foot long screw driver and ram it carefully under the rubber boot until it touched the prongs in the tube. CRACK! when the power.
