Difficult to remove because power board has those 3 cables attached. Tried inverting it to get gravity assist. Should get them off shortly to complete the test. Will let you know. Thanks.

These caps won't budge. There is a white elastic glue type substance may be holding it in place as well. I guess I will try removing that.

Got both removed and tested. Left one gone and right channel one boderline according to the ESR tester, which I am not sure I trust. Ordered two replacements from DigiKey. Should be here tomorrow.

Got the wrong caps fro DigiKey. Waiting for the correct ones. Can't find locally.

Did a retest of the newly installed Nichon 8200 mfd, 63 v caps. Measured FWB Gnd. to pin 4 =--6.62 vdc; Gnd to pin 1 = .337 vdc; across pins 2 and 3 = 4.45 vac. Doesn't make any sense. My load light is still bright. Looking at schematic and scratching my head.

Could C-1203 be bad also? Didn't do any measurements on it.

WE just don't happen to have some damaged POWER output transistors STILL installed on the board . . . do we ?
