I bought one of Martin&#39;s cap kits for it, and finally had a little bit of time today to start on it. Anyway, when I took out the tuner board, I found this:</p> <p><img width="600" src="http://www.photodump.org/stored29/pro1a.JPG" height="450" alt="" /></p> <p>It looks like some kind of dried&nbsp;residue on the board&nbsp;around these two odd (to me) looking&nbsp;capacitors. Now, do you think this is from the caps, and they&#39;re going bad, or do you think it left the factory that way with some kind of residue on it, and it&#39;s no big deal?</p> <p>Here&#39;s what one of&nbsp;the corners of&nbsp;my living room looks like, hahaha:</p> <p><img width="600" src="http://www.photodump.org/stored29/pro2.jpg" height="450" alt="" /></p> <p>I picked up a BC9000 on Ebay. Eventually, it will go in my bedroom.&nbsp;I need to fix the CD player and door motors. I&#39;m using it right now to push one of&nbsp;my Beovox MS150&#39;s, which it actually does a decent job of, up to medium loudish volumes. I need to finish&nbsp;fixing the crossover in the other speaker. I can&#39;t wait to convert one of my upstairs bedrooms into a workshop so I&#39;ll have a good place to put this stuff.</p> <p><img width="1600" src="http://www.photodump.org/stored29/pro3.jpg" height="1200" alt="" /></p> <p>Nevermind my baseboarding please. Finishing remodeling my downstairs is my other very time consuming project. I need to finish the baseboards and electrical outlets in the living room.</p> <p>The MS150&#39;s sound good and clean, though I do feel they sound lean, but every B&amp;O speaker I&#39;ve heard has. I haven&#39;t heard the new ALT speakers, but the&nbsp;BL4, 6, 8000&#39;s have, and the BL1&#39;s sounded very lean to me as well.&nbsp;I don&#39;t think B&amp;O bothered to compensate for the baffle step in response. Just my opinion.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks for any help you might be able to give regarding the caps on the tuner board.</p> <p>Jon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
