Fixing a stereo, the JCPenney stereo in the video called "JCPenney, before restoration-first test". It was, as expected, a bad capacitor. I also fixed the record-player.

WHERE IS YOUR SOLDERING TIP ?

Alright, that's what I'll do. Thanks man. :D
-
Why is the laft channel, the repaired one, alot flatter than the working right channel? different cap values? camera placement? different speakers?
-
You so gotta be proud of yourself...this is so cool

Bad Capacitor (30Yrs old Tracon) part1by Knaeckebrotsaege646 views
Is it safe to test components live while the unit is on like that? O.o
I'd actually like to know, because I have a Chronomatic-218 alarm clock radio I'm trying to fix, and it has the same exact issue with the left channel. I asked someone on a forum about it already, and they seem to think it's the capacitor right before the circuit reaches the speakers in the schematic... Was that the case for you? How did you go about testing the capacitors?

@Matrix803 As long as the part you are testing in is not at the mains voltage, but lower (as in most solid state devices), it is OK. But with mains voltage and higher (as in vacuum tube/valve equipment), it is very dangerous and should not be done live. I tested the caps by just putting a known good cap across different caps on the circuit board until I found the bad one.

cassette master im so sorry to tell you sucks soldering man.
buy tools soon like a (de-soldier) its a syringe to get out the iron of the pcb and a soldier with a thin stick to get close to the bad capacitor without de-soldering the rest of the pcb.
Please review that.
Good wishes

I got a desoldering iron and it is an amazing tool!

Was the new capacitor the same value as the one you replaced?

Yes. 10uF.
