This can be rather easy, in many cases.
Electrolytic capacitors have a PVC shrink-tube plastic cover to shield the aluminum case from other devices, as the case is tied to the negative terminal. When many electrolytics start to fail

Where can I find a replacement power transformer for my crate gt80 guitar amplifier?
Feb 06, 8172 by Mike | Posted in Other - Electronics
I have contacted Crate and they gave me a list of parts dealers but all insist that they do repairs and not sell just power transformers. I am looking for a part #94-029-01. Thank you for any help!!
First, what you need to know is the secondary voltages of the
transformer you wish to replace. A part number is nice, but
tells you very little, unless you have a book on hand, and
usually, these numbers are only for that product
