Can someone tell me why the negative capacitor face is discolored (whitish) compared to the positive side that looks like new? I have seen similar on other supply caps. Is this a sign the cap is failing or Is it similar to the negative terminal of a car battery becoming more corroded than the positive terminal?
This is on an old 2270 that is in otherwise mint condition I am in process of replacing bad Rt. CH output transistors. I also noticed the power switch front two poles have been tied to keep unit on at all times.
Thanks for any enlightenment
