Default Re: Panasonic AG-6400 Hi-Fi audio problem

Thanks for the reply, Maarten.

I had forgotten about the hair dryer method for troubleshooting.

It did yield some results. By heating and touching the area in this photo, I got the left channel to come back quite significantly. I could also get some buzzing in the right channel by touching the top of a cap in the area. I think you’re right that I should just go ahead and replace the whole lot there, because if one or two have gone bad, I’m sure there’s a good chance the others have too. Thankfully, they are tiny wired electrolytic ones, so doable with a micro tip iron. i believe this is the FM circuit for encoding the audio to tape. I suppose I’ve got a big project ahead haha!
