SOLVED !!!Screechy noise and very low sound in my Amiga 4000

First off Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to everyone ! Let's hope that 2022 will finally be the end of  this covid virus.

I'm happy to say after a good 3 month period of not being able to sit down in a 'regular chair' (or basically do anything else!) without pain after surgery in early August to repair a fully torn quadricep tendon in my right leg that my Amiga 4000 sound issues have been solved!!!

Thanks to Frank at www.retrorewind.ca the sound issue was an easy fix and YES it was the recently replaced capacitors afterall lol

The issue was the type of capacitors used for the audio caps. Although they worked fine for almost 2 years the ceramic caps used ultimately failed...whether it had something to with polarization etc. who knows but after they were replaced with new electrolytic caps the mods have been flowing beautifully in the man cave once again!

SO take note and make sure you don't see caps like these below on your Amiga when you eventually get them recapped...most of us are just happy to get the work done by a trusted (hopefully) source and don't even pay attention to what was used or perhaps you did them yourself and didn't know any better like me...well now ya know 😉
