Presto K8 - Output Suddenly Drops
The output on my Presto K8 just dropped significantly today. I have to turned it up much louder now to get the same number on the volume indicator. I know I saw a post about this the other day saying there is something you have to replace to correct this but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what the issue or know the post I am referring to? thanks

You gotta mount 2 little birds eye knobs on the grill between the turntable and the knob plate!
Just kidding and i hope somebody chimes in. My onboard presto amp gives me grief...

haha, nice... thanks 
Oddly enough the issue went away. I think my heat lamp might have overheated it...? Still would like to know the answer though because it could still happen one day. thanks!

Re: Presto K8 - Output Suddenly Drops
could be the coupling capacitors failing. Is the output distorted when it drops?
