The speaker I swapped out for another small 8ohm from my local tech place because it wasn't working. I then discovered it had an output; but only if you hold your ear right up to it. When I plug my headphones in the output is OK but very noisy and what I would consider quiet for headphones.
My first thought is poor connection on the volume pot. It looks a bit 'rusted' on the metal connectors. Does anyone have much experience in replacing / repairing these? Is this likely my problem? Is it worth the effort?
My other thought was the amplifier circuit might have worn out and I should replace the caps on it. Can anyone direct me to which part of the board is the amp circuit so I can do this? I can't find the information anywhere! Thanks!
