I was just listening to my 1989 vintage Adcom, when it just quit outputting sound. The display still works and the transport still seems to be working. Just no sound out of both outputs (fixed & variable). I took the cover off and found several electrolytics that appear to have leaked. The leaked material is hard, so I assume that they did not just begin leaking today. See photos below.
Anywho:
Is it probable the electrolytics failed from age? Nothing appears to have been overheated.
What are the chances that replacing the caps and cleaning the board will solve my problem?
What do you guys think I should do? I really like the player and would hate to throw in the towel.
