PT-25 audio distortion

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.

The Deoxit contact cleaner (black label) will damage (remove) the conductive surface on many variable resistors. This will create a lot of noise. Check the control for proper operation with a VOM.

Use the green label "Fader Lube" to clean variables that are not wire-wound.
