just wanted to give a big thank you to stpete cooling for the info. i grabbed 2 nichicon UEP1V101MPD caps from digikey and installed them this afternoon. like someone else said, i thought i wasn't successful at first because there was absolutely NO noise coming from the speakers when i hooked them back up LOL. they sound as good as the day i bought them now!!!
i actually created this account JUST to thank you. 😁
