Hey all, I have a Teac 4010s that I wanted to freshen up as it didn’t work. I did a full recap along with completely cleaning and lubing all of the mechanical parts. I took it for a test run and as soon as I hit the what I’m guessing is the reverse button I heard a pop and magic smoke came out.
There are the buttons I’m talking about. I opened up the back to see what had actually happened. I found a capacitor with a blown top.
There was a two gang capacitor can there before and one side was 2.8uf at 250vac. I placed in a 3.3uf at 400vdc. The other side of the cab was 1uf at 250vac and I placed a 1uf at 400vdc. That capacitor is fine.
I have no idea what caused this. Is it possible that side of the cab saw more voltage and it exceeded the 400vdc? The original cab was measuring fine, though had a high esr.
Any help on where to go with this would be much appreciated!!! I need help lol.
