    Recommendations Bad Caps Bose Radio Always On?

    Hi

    A friend inherited a Dead Bose Wave Radio.

    Have been researching this radio and recently watched Chris Cuff's Excellent Bose Radio Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hysws_wx5WU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA9t64x_2RA

    Every Cap BAD!

    Googled "Bose radio bad capicators" and found "Thoughts on used Bose wave radios" http://antiqueradios.com/forums/view...p?f=2&t=230134

    Similar findings: caps "are ALWAYS on. The on off button is just a mute button. The capacitors in them are mostly low quality."

    Appreciate recommendations concerning cost effective caps for Bose Radio?

    Thanks

    Ken

      ahh, the radio forums! im a member!
      Bose refused to make any service manuals available so i couldn't tell you what stock of caps to get or what is compatible.
      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        would you please comment on "EM-branded capacitors" mentioned in post.

        Googled but found nothing

        Thanks

          I'm guessing the blackening is chemical. If they are discolored then they need to be replaced. Otherwise, replace the 'lytics and of it sounds odd, then replace the Polly film guys there.
