Bush TR 82C repair advice wanted

[ducatiguzzi]

The comment "I didn't measure and DC voltage" was when the set was powered up I measured 0.016 Vdc downstream of C21 with 1.1Vdc upstream, I thought i might have measured more if the cap was leaking voltage, just out my head.

I woud also imagine the my DMM (Fluke 189) would typically read high on a 12V electrolytic given it is only charging the cap to 3V, again just a hunch. Any cap I have changed in the past (not on radios, industrial DC drive controllers and instrumentation equipment) it was visible or I had them changed anyway.

So I believe all your advice is spot on, don't think too much, just do it. I haven't got the test equipment for ESR anyway.

Oh, a new problem now the on/off switch is now sticking off following me squirting some contact cleaner in to clean the crackly pot track, WD40 type. I used to use Electrolube in the olden days, I'm sure it slightly lubricated as well as cleaned, the WD40 stuff is pure volatile solvent. New switch/pot?

I've got soldering equipment so shouldn't be a problem.

I'll do some cap shopping then, any preferred suppliers guys?

Thanks
