Seduction upgrade suggestions?

[galyons]

I don't like big caps hanging by their leads.  Especially the big, heavy metal cased Russian caps. (and I use a ton of the Russkies!) I use  small rectangles of acrylic sheet  screwed to nylon stand-offs on the socket or strip screws.  Simple. Dirt cheap! This provides a solid mounting surface, (zip tie down), elevates the caps above the circuitry to make troubleshooting far easier.  My experience was that every time I had to move the caps "out of the way", ( or just simply lifting the plate to take a look!), I was running the risk of creating more issues with solder junctions, lead integrity and potential shorting.

I started doing this when I added the C4S upgrade to my  Foreplay.  $h!T on leads all over the place. (Well worth the aggravation though!) Drove me crazy!! Now it is SOP!!

Cheers,
Geary

Geary,
Would you happen to have an image of this? I can't really picture what you mean from your verbal description.
Thank you!!
