I started by replacing the two 10uF 16V caps (C7 and C25) with tantalums. I tried it again and the symptoms were the same.
Next, I replaced two 2.2uF 50V caps (C63 and C??). Here I only had through hole electrolytics so I had to get creative to keep their height down.
There’s three other 2.2uF 50V caps but they don’t have polarity markings. I decided to leave those as-is for the moment.
Let’s fire it up! 🤞
