C30 and C32 (100 μF, 25 V) are under-rated and therefore have a tendency to leak or short, causing associated resistors R30 and R32 (240 Ω, 0.25 W, 5%) to overheat and fail. C30 and C32 should be replaced with modern equivalents rated above 35 V.

Pushbutton switch repairs

Under-rated capacitors

C30 and C32 (100 μF, 25 V) are under-rated and therefore have a tendency to leak or short, causing associated resistors R30 and R32 (240 Ω, 0.25 W, 5%) to overheat and fail. C30 and C32 should be replaced with modern equivalents rated above 35 V.
