PT-25 audio distortion
#7

I use De-ox-id contact cleaner, part # 19-1906-A

There are 7 resistors. A few are pin to pin that seem to require their removal to test so I might as well install a new one.

I haven't changed the speaker. It played when I bought the set and with each replaced cap the audio quality has improved. It's just not at where I know it should be even for a small table top set.

Very much appreciate the help guys. Trying to finish this set up for a Xmas gift for my dad, and move on to a 16B that I've very stoked about starting.
