You see the 7 black caps and the two silver ones on the board towards that back of the unit..Change them all with non polarized nichicon muse and I guarantee you it will fix it..probably only one or two caps are bad but being they are so cheap to buy,there is no sense in changing just one or two and the rest be indifferent.The 100uf at 12v caps,one of them is probably the culprit but change them all and you are looking at about 20 to 25 dollars tops and probably less..It covers the phono also..Use the non polarized muse as much as you can but if you cant find them,just use the polarized electrolytic..Dont worry if the voltage is higher but the uf cant because you will change the circuit eq.Handmade electronics or Jim Mcshane can help you with the caps.
