capacitor electrolyte= super glue ?

@ wise
tomorrow i'm going to test all of the resistors in that channel , i also have a LCR tester on the way, which i will use to test the transistors in due course. i dont mind that i have to do this extra work, as this was always a learning project for me. i am worried about having to find replacement transistors, but i'll cross that bridge when i come to it.

cheers for reply
