Found these in the back of a drawer. Close enough for rock? Font's a bit sharper, logo's a bit smaller, and the ends are a bit blunter.

Nope. 1975 date codes.
The output cap looks period correct and is a type that was used by Sola Sound. It's solder joints have been messed with, yes, but the adjacent 5µF cap has leads that are long enough to allow installing such a large 0.015µF cap. I guess there is a chance it could be the original part. :hmm:
Everything is transitional.

Since it's changed hands enough times now, why not ask Justin about it? :badteeth:

I thought about reaching out to him to see if he kept those filter caps!

The output cap has been in there ages, as the solder is very old. Perhaps I'll just redo the solder so it's in the Sola style and call it a day
