RE: Harman Kardon A410 - Phono Section problems

If the electrolytics are 30 years old, it could be that. H-K used electrolytics for coupling at the input and output of the phono stage in many of their designs. They go bad before the other electrolytics (dc use) because they have only a millivolt ac voltage across them so they do not stay formed.
I suspect them only because the exact thing happened to me when I bought a NOS factory sealed Citation 21 which was 16 years in the box unpowered.
