I think it might be a good idea to replace all the tantalum caps used
for coupling and decoupling purposes is Uher tape deck I'm fixing up
with new ones as I gather tants can go flaky over time.
Is there any evidence of failing capacitors?
Just generally poor audio which I can't pin down to a specific stage.
Tantalums are not noted for their reliability and seem to be the prime
suspect in cases like this.
If the DC voltages on the various transistors are correct, the volume
control isn't noisy and there is no hum when working from the mains, I
would leave the capacitors alone and look elsewhere for the problem.
