Melaka Buzzing

[bigred222]

I just Sold my Melaka to some one and he is complaining of it buzzing. Any one know what i can tell him to do to make it stop buzzing. I know it is the power supply. My cobra does the same thing its just not as bad.
Thanks

replace the caps in the power supply theres only a few and it will be cheap.

Ok i will tell him. thanks

no problem, just make sure he gets either the same voltage or higher. the values will be written on the caps like 1000uf 16v, so a 1000up 25v would be ok but not a 1000uf 10v

I Think There is only one. Does that sound right. The one Really Big cap.

yup, you can get a couple smaller ones and series them together for the same value, the actual replacment cap is pretty expensive if i rember right, if its the same one as my 2517 it was about $28 from a dealer, i got some smaller ones and added together. its just there to take the ripple out of it so you can just get pretty close, it doesnt need to be exact.
