Kenwood KR-9600: leaking maxi electrolytics

This is a common problem for this model; even 10+ yrs ago.
The caps were worked pretty hard, and rail voltages were too close to rated working voltage.

Use for fishing weight!!

Almost certainly due to age, especially if stored in a damp place.

Thanks. Mouser had the right ones for $8.95. Was this an aging issue or maybe just a defective lot?

Check the physical size, and lead configuration of your caps, and see if the Cornell 64668s, on this page, will fit(click on, "miscellaneous" at the bottom of the page): (http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html) The slight increase in capacitance can only benefit the amp, if they will fit. The cost would be slight, if you can perform the install yourself, and chances are; will correct the problem.
