Hey all
This one came from a friend, symptom was going full volume without notice randomly. So I decided to recap the whole thing, maybe 4 caps not changed due to lack of stock. Removed all that nasty glue off circuit board. Singing nicely now.
Old Caps (Below):
Nasty Glue (Below):
Used Vishay for main power Caps, excellent quality. All the rest were Nichicon, Panasonic and Rubycon
New Caps (Below):
Sounds fantastic, running for 36 hours straight, no problems. Running the BIC/RTR Exp12v's just in case it decides to go full volume. Pretty sure the problem is fixed. That nasty glue and 35 year old caps surely wasn't helping things.
