The IC axial film caps are really good too. I blame Fender for using the bargain bin capacitors over IC for making a part to a price point. They do last their expected lifespan and sometimes a lot longer. 7 years comes and goes quick with tube amps.
NIce video! I know that the electronic ballasts are contributing to noise in the power distribution side. At one point the IEEE (emerald book I think) recommended doubling the size of the neutral in order to help dissipate the harmonics from these cheap devices. Never flipped the script to consider noise suppression within the device though.
@goodun2974 ideally yes. Just a mile away is a 700' tall rf blaster. The shop is a great test for lead dress, shielding, and etc. if it's quiet here, it's quiet everywhere.

Easier than digging around the electrical panel!
