Hello,
I recently picked up a Roberts RCS80, it's working fine other than scratchy volume, bass and treble dials.
I took the radio apart with the intention of cleaning the scratchy dials, when I took it apart I noticed around three or four capacitors had leaked, they weren't bulging at the top but brown stains were around the bottom of them on the pcb.
I had a look at the instant download/ DVD that is available to purchase but it doesn't seem to have the schematics for the Roberts RCS80. if it's just not listed I'm happy to buy it but if it's not there does anyone have a scan of the manual?
Also had a quick look at some of the other RCS80 threads and I'm wondering even though some caps have leaked should I leave them alone as the radio is working fine or should I go ahead an replace them.
Below is whats written on the side of each capacitor that seems to have leaked.
- Giant 470 uF 25v
- Giant 2200 uF 25v
- Telecon 1000 uF 16v
-
4700 uF 6.3v
So I suppose my question is, should I leave it alone as it's working or should I replace the ones that have leaked. If you think I should replace them can I just order the above from ebay??
Thanks
