I bought an amp that had a blown cap. Should be an easy and cheap fix.

Just to illustrate that caps DO blow up. SO be VERY careful with them. I bet this small one (smaller round than a pencil, under .75" long) probably sounded like a fire cracker!

Imagine a 1 Farad blowing up. It would take your HAND off.
