[QUOTE="POLKAT, post: 1898834, member: 568412"] I just received a used old-school Directed 1100d from ebay. I decided to take a quick look at the guts and I noticed that the 2 largest capacitors are bulging at the top. The bottom one is fully expanded while the one above it is about half way there. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/cncsutor/amp/amp001.jpg[/IMG] [URL="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/cncsutor/amp/amp005.jpg"]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/cncsutor/amp/amp005.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/cncsutor/amp/amp002.jpg"]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/cncsutor/amp/amp002.jpg[/URL] The marks on the top of the caps are where they were pressing against the cover of the amp. I know that blowing a cap can be very dangerous..especially ones as large as these. Do you think it would be worth it to try and get the caps replaced by an electronics repair shop? [/QUOTE]
