It only takes a second to swap parts, the voltages were off on the parts I swapped, the caps I changed were 10volt and 16volt i put in higher voltage (so maybe they wouldnt short again) I was checking out the radio where I had just got it, I didn't say this because someone said not to tell just what all parts I changed so i didnt think it mattered to explain where it wasn't stated in the thread header. Some that were supposed to be 0.0 volt were reading 0.5v and others that were supposed to read 4.8v were 7.8v no sense in leaving in parts while I'm there that are showing voltage that's more then the voltage chart shows it to be. I have a sinad, digital voltmeter, frequency counter and signal generator but not everyone has those things. Its mostly a hobby for me and learning what I can and using just a voltmeter is what most would be doing if it were somewhere else. Like I said in an earlier post I didn't want to drag out a bunch of test equipment. I figured in the almost 40k members on here maybe someone has had around the same problem before and they have. I've spent a lot of time online before reading without all the test equipment figuring it out myself and most people who look up what problem I've had will be only using a volt meter in most cases so wouldnt it be hard for them if we just said take a scope or some meter they didn't  have and try to explain it. It might be the right way but sometimes it's not possible, Again sorry I'm not sure exactly what part made audio come back to the speaker wires.
