Re: EMU 1820M not working properly

Fixed!

I bought some nichicon caps from a local electronics store.. Actually JKelectronics here in Southern California. Tons of stuff, HUGE store.. I was upset at the 1 drawer of caps at Radio Shack (the advice here was don't use them anyways) and found JKE. Are nichocon caps decent? I bought 5 but so far only replaced the bad one. I want to replace all of the same ones but not sure if nichocon is good enough or wait and buy the panasonics online.

Thanks for a great site.. Now to the broken receivers...

Re: EMU 1820M not working properly

Hi all.. And Happy New Year!!!

New user- I have the same issue with my 1820m. As worked flawlessly for years but now Intermittent working breakout box if at all. Loud static off and on, won't detect etc... Horrible! I use this for my guitar as well as gaming. In anycase I've looked over all the caps and I see 1 that the top is bulbous and not concave like the others. I don't see any leaks but I'm assuming since all the others are concave tops that this one is probably bad.

And ya, this was worth finding even on New Years...
