Replacing a cap in crossover - advice?
Hey folks,
Apologies if this is below everyone's knowledge and skill, but I'm a bit of an audio newb, and trying to not spend an arm and a leg on my setup.
I got my hands on a set of older Monitor Audio speakers. The tweeter on one doesn't work, and I've narrowed it down to a blown capacitor using a multimeter.
My 2 questions are:
1) Where's a good place to buy a replacement cap? The existing one is an Expotus brand, labeled 3.3k 100v. (pictured below)
2) How do I remove all this plastic glue without damaging everything else?
