3200 Bass Tone capacitor

[ocdecio]

I am working on a 3200 and I noticed the right channel doesn't respond to the bass slider. When examining the board I find a ceramic capacitor instead of the green caps:



I am not sure if this is what;s causing the issue but it is a heck of a coincidence.

Anyways - what type of capacitor should be used here?

Wima polypropylene is what I'd use. Mouser 505-MKP20.01/100/5

Those little brown ones are film, not ceramic. They’re great caps. I’d take a look for broken wires, bad solder joints, or anything like that. Very unusual.

Thank you! Will do!

That cap is not likely to be bad if it has not been abused.

Not abused at all. This is one of the most pristine units I've ever seen. Only thing wrong with it was a tantalum cap that went bad and took off a channel.
