As the title says my Philips B6X12A is on the fritz…
The radio plays on every channel, but there is some kind of noise generated from somewhere inside the circuit…
I know this because I've played some records with my vinyl pickup through the radio (the records are clean and also non-static cleansed).
This radio is mostly in use when I study, program or game in my room.
As you can see from the pictures of the bottom circuitry you can see that the smoothing cap has black scorch marks around it, so I will need to replace that one also.
But with what kind of cap may I use? An elco or something else?
I will also replace the mains connection with a connection lead that has GND.
Are there any other caps that better also be replaced or not?
The yellow (mustard) caps from Philips seem to be in decent shape, but the blue aluminum caps are showing some wear and tear…
Enclosed is also the circuit schematic, unfortunately the schematic is a bit un-readable when you print it on A4 paper…

Thanks in advance!
