Hello, I am new to this forum and in hopes to finding an answer to my dilemma.
I have a Rotel RB-850 with a blown or not working left channel. Once I opened the unit I can see the PSU caps are leaking. The following is written on them
HPS
50V 10000uF
N.C.
NEG. BLACK
TOWA
87113
Can anyone suggest a replacement for these that may work better or should I use identical replacements?

Leaking ? or glue ? Many large caps are secured with a brown glue to prevent stress/movement cracking soldered joints and/or loosing the "rivets" that large caps sometimes have securing the solder tag/pins to the internals of the cap.

Back up and running thank you all for the tips. It had something to do with the glue, I removed all traces of it from the board and the components it came in contact with. It now works as it did. I am not sure it it was a slight short or just not allowing a component to do its jub but the end result is it is working now and the corrrosive cunducting glue is completely removed from my circuit board.
