power amp caps

Posted by: i am simon 2 on 07 December 2002

I have a 1982 160.

I have just had a look inside for only the second time ever, to look at the cap condition etc.

When I bought it about 2 years ago I was told it had had a recent re cap.

What make should the caps be? I assume they are the 4 large cylindrical things boled to the inside back of the case?

One other thing i noticed was the 4 silver things next to the pcb, I assume these are transistors.
It looks like they sit on some kind of white paste stuff, is this the adhesive or are they leaking somthing?

Help would be appreciated.

New caps for a 160 should be BHC, black, 10,000 uF 40V, about 2.5" long. They should be bolted to the bottom of the case. They replace bigger ones bolted to the back.
