Tube Tester?

[Barry (NJ)]

I call it long covid. they call it respiratory infection. I just demanded antibiotics. I have this since the middle of December
My drugs

Prednisone
Flonase
Tessalon pearls
Some cough syrup.
Mucinex d
vicks vapor rub.
and now Doxycycline... Hope my acne clears up. If I still have this the weekend, they will send me for a chest x-ray

Damn Evan, I do hope you get healthy soon!

So Evan sent me a fresh set of tubes to try, but sadly they didn't fix my issue. Now when I first inspected the board I was looking for something obvious, like a burnt resistor or a leaky mess around a capacitor. More careful inspection this evening and I noticed that one of the caps is a bit swollen at the top. So I ordered some replacements and I'm hoping that fixes the issue.

Note the top of the cap towards the front right...

Well, I installed 2 new caps, the one with the swollen top and its partner, and I have the little something I had lost back in the sound

It's always a good feeling when you can bring gear back from the abyss.  Congrats.

Big thanks to all who offered to help, and especially Evan for sending out a set of tubes for me to try out!
