RE: Zenith Moderne Z565 - Loud, buzzy amp

That is definitely a filter cap gone bad..Those units actually sound very good for what they are..I remember servicing a couple of those when I was in college in the late 70s.The round speakers that come with it are the pre allegro series which were pretty good as far as clarity goes.
Now if you can solder,you can fix this unit..If you can take a better photo than I found on the unit underneath,that would help.We just need to see the caps to change and they are very easy to change in this unit.I see little output transformers and bumblebee capacitors and this isn't a tube unit as I recall.
