Off the usual HIFI topic, but looking for a little advice from 'those who know'!! I am becoming more knowledgable, but am still very much at the beginner stage!!
I've had a few issues with my Jukebox recently and think I may have a problem with one of the capacitors, this has nothing to do with audio, it is out of a control box from art of the playing mechanism.
A little while ago I got a puff of smoke from the box and thought the cap was to blame. I have removed it, photo 1, but can't see any sign of damage. So, few questions, is there an easy way to test it? I have a basic multimeter. If it is no good could I replace it with the cap in photo 2, which I have a couple of? If not where would be a good place to get some replacements and what should I look for?
Apologies for the dirty finger nail!!
