Hi,

I've been replacing all the caps


Coupling / decoupling ?

in my vintage Wurlitzer Jukebox amp.
The problem was one channel was buzzing quite badly. Now ive done it
all, the bad channel has stopped working altogether (only a slight
hum). I checked my wiring and noticed one of the caps I changed is
the wrong value (22uF instead of 150uF). This cap is in the faulty
channel. Does anyone know if it would make that much difference?


I think you need to stop messing around and consult a proper tech. I
doubt you have the skills to fault find.

You're right, I don't have the skills to find fault, which is why i'm
referring it to The Jukebox Hospital. But I do have basic soldering
skills, which is why I replaced all the electrolytic and paper caps.

Well unless its priceless bit of gear thats not a bad way to learn

And I wish a few more people would try its worrying how many young
people these days can use a PC but not a soldering Iron;(...
