Hello Dave, and thanks for the quick answer. There are some big electrolytic caps inside the cabinet (80 mm diameter and 180 mm long approx). I can replace them easy but is there a way to know if they are faulty before replace them? My brother has a digital oscilloscope that can measure capacitance but I don't know if that's ok for this kind of capacitors. But I guess if they are in the range the oscilloscope can measure I might work. -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
