Connected up the turntable a couple of days ago to find that there was sound coming from the speakers but not a lot of it.
So i've opened it up and gave the selector switch above the phono board a good clean/soaking to no avail, but noticed a couple of things which are in the images. On the soldered underside there are a four pins sticking up through the board that are unsoldered in the darker green area. I'm thinking that this is because they are not part of the circuit. On the top side the larger black cap near the bottom appears to have been weeping onto the board and i'm thinking that this is the likely culprit causing the low volume. There's also a red wire in the bottom right connected to nothing which looks odd.
Anyway i'd be grateful for any advice and opinions on my observations and anything that looks suspect in the photos.
