Evening all
Recently took a peek inside my Nait3 to see if anything was "going off" Being an eBay buy you never know... Everything looks ok apart from the thermal compound on the outputs has gone hard & powder like so that'll need sorting. However the biggest issue is the three main power supply capacitors namely: 2xBHC Aerovox 10000uf 40v 1xBHC Aerovox 4700uf 40v. They are all bulging & look ready to burst but I cant find any suitable high quality replacements. I purchased some 10000uf 50v Kendeils but they are too tall for the slimline case
Any advice greatly welcomed ! Cheers.
PS. Bias across emittor resistors reads 2.6mv(left) 3.1mv(right) - Would it be correct to adjust them to around 5mv ?
