REFLECTOR: WHELEN STROBE

[vance atkinson via Reflector]

It is those two big electrolytic ones,  they wear out, and mainly leak  
from non-use.

If the two smaller caps have a dome on them, instead of being flat on 
top, they should be replaced too.

Hmm  donno what to tell you about the burnt hole...is it an actual hole 
or smudge spot ?  Any other hanky-panky going on with the rest of the 
board?  You will also note there is a clear Krylon coating (probably 
yellow now) over the board and its components for fungus, mildew and 
water protection.  Any work done like soldering new or removing old 
parts will require cleaning off the clear coating in that spot.
