Re: Restore a Beau Decca
Thanks Techman. I've now replaced the Cap Can with just 2 capacitors- a 10 and a 22 microF, as I found I had the latter in the kit.
Still works, but I notice that there is some distortion with the music (only low level, but it wasn't there earlier- so am doing a bit of a substitution exercise to see if reverting back to the original caps loses this distortion.
I am using the 'brilliance' control in its full clockwise position, if I turn it to the centre 'gram' position there is still quite a bit of hum alongside the music. This may reduce as I start to use the amp but I will keep checking this as we go along.
I've attached a pic of the original cap (tried looking for a replacement as would have preferred to keep 'the look' but so far can not find one)- and the replacements in situ.
