Thanks for all of the info guys. It is a 1961 Fender Deluxe for those that were asking. I would like to keep it all original at the moment so I do not think I am going to proceed with any mods. I am still a bit unclear as to which caps I should order. I know the schematic shows 25uf caps throughout yet the current caps in there are a bit higher and look original. I don't know if I should try to replace them with the same current values or the 25uf like the schematic shows. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Leo often deviated from his own schematics, with such variations occurring right on the production line and never being documented. If the amp sounds good with the values currently installed then that's probably optimum for yours in particular.
