I wouldn't bother. I plan on mounting mine on a plaque and hanging it on
the wall. :-)

Honestly, I wouldn't worry. It sounds like you have the FAQ
http://www.gamearchive.com/video/manufacturer/atari/vector/monitors/amplifone/amplifone_faq_1_1.pdf
If you don't, get it.

Off-hand I don't recall if everything you listed was what's in the FAQ, but
I would replace everything it lists. It's easier to do it all at once. If
you have the bigger regs, do it now.
I've fixed two so far, and didn't check the 555 in either case. Weather
or not this was wise is a different story.
