Dear all
My old(ish) TEAC A-H500i looses sound intermittently in both channels (at the same time).
First I was thinking speaker relays, but that I guess would be channel specific - or?
Then I saw this little fella, seemingly with a leak (or is it just glue?) According to the schematic it is on the “sub power supply pcb”.
I am not an expert and does not know what it does - anyone can help? Could this be it?
It is the one in the pictures - and link to service manual below.
If not it - what typically causes intermittent sound loss in both channels simultaneously? It is not a matter of speaker volume.
Thank you all 🙌🏻

Leakage of wet electrolyte from inside a capacitor would dry in the form of a light coloured powder.
If the tan coloured material is hard, it will be glue, in which case the capacitor is unlikely to be the source of your problem.

There are lots of plug in cables, Try reseating all of those cables.
If this makes a difference, clean all of their contacts. Could be a power supply cable.

I detached, sprayed with contact cleaner and re-attached all detachable cable connections in the power supply chain. And now it has played without problems for 6 hours straight.
Thank you so much for this advice.
I simply had not thought of this simple thing (simple when you know, obviously, thank you for teaching me 🙌🏻)
