That is -exactly- what is happening in this system. I may replace all of the capacitors on the power section, just as a proactive maintenance step. The largest caps seem to be in the front left quarter of the analog board, as viewed from the rear or the Mac. Is this the right area? (I'll do some googling this weekend and hopefully find a service manual online.) Thanks to all who have responded, I appreciate your input.
