I've just taken temporary custody of a Rotel RQ-970BX phono stage and knowing the real owner is a keen tweaker I opened it up to see if he had breathed on it at all.
As it happens it's not been touched but I was slightly alarmed to see trails of brown gunk that seem to come from some of the capacitors.
Have they been leaking at some point? I should point out this hasn't been powered up for years.
