i picked up a Sony SQR-8750 this past weekend. Found it on craigslist for $100. went to the guy's house to check it out. sounded great and very clean (with the exception of some cigarette smell), a little static when some of the knobs were turned (will pick up Deoxit). i then asked what the "meter sens" button was. he hit it a couple of times to show me and POP - right front channel out. he said he didn't have the money to fix it and if i wanted to get it fixed i could have it. in the four channel mode i get sound from the other three speakers. the needle on the RF meter is pegged. when i turn off the unit the needles on the meters for the other three channels immediately drop to -20. the RF needle slowly drops. if i hold the Meter Sens button part of the way in the needle drops to a lower reading.could it be a blown capacitor somewhere in that channel's signal path? if so, if i open the case will i see a bulging/split cap? any tips on cleaning the smell out of it? i tried using some orange scented goo gone on the case for starters.
all help in getting this receiver working properly would be GREATLY appreciated!!
