Acoustical JOBO model 2800s - capacitor replacement | wiring diagram

Jobo2800

New Member
Hello everyone !

Geoff, I'm new here, 27 y/o from Paris.
I waited a long time to get a vintage turntable, I got this Nice Jobo Acoustical, I mounted a SME 3009 on it. But that worked for ... two weeks.

I noticed that it took a little time to start before it completely stopped working.. I'm a complete beginner regarding electronic, so I thought you could help me with your knowledge.

Here is attached a picture, do you see some irregularities ? I I guess the best thing I have to do is to replace the two capacitors. Do you have any recommandation for the brand ? I also noticed the plug in on 240v whereas my electricity is in 220V

Last question, before it stopped working, the cable i got in my hand snapped, could it be linked ?

Geoff

Me myself would start to check the leads in
the coupling plint seeking for corrosion. These
type of capacitors are lasting for a long long time
so mostly no need to change them if they not are
visible damaged
 
Thank you Pronto (you're aptly named since you're the first to reply ! )

I'll start by checking the leads then.
