I'm wondering in what direction do coupling caps usually drift in vintage amps. I found a NOS 0.0005uf Astrom capacitor identical to what is found in the tone circuit of a vintage Tweed Deluxe but it has drifted to read at 0.001uf. I'm wondering if the caps in actual tweed deluxe amps have also drifted in this manner and if I should try to incorporate it into my deluxe replica. Is this a contributer to "mojo" or is it just a waste of time?
