Well as I prepare my 57 for sale I've been going over the car to ensure everything is working as best as it should.  When I went underneath the dash I noticed that the larger paper capacitor with my Wonderbar radio amp appears to be charred.  The brown paper is black which leads me to believe this is the reason for the odd smell I noticed last year when I turned on the radio (it worked perfectly fine before).  How hard is it to replace this part?  Also will a 58 amp work on a 57 radio?  I'd like to get the radio operational before it goes to its next owner.
