Couldn't find the 4.43 can.

Found some brown stuff under two black-gray condensers in area labeled
"primary" under the same hood where the power inlet is on main pcb. Would it
be worth trying to replace these?

Also a component labeled "Sharp 12SZ11" seems to have been running hot.


if it is hard stuff then its just glue used at manufacture; if it is
sticky and/or the caps are bulging replace them.
you would probably have other symptoms if the caps were leaking that
badly though.
