    Default Should I be concerned.....

    I noticed this in one of my perfectly working amps , is it glue that has corroded the shiny thing ( heat sink ? )
    Should I change it ?

    Strangely enough I saw corrosive glue mentioned in a refurb on a Sansui amp that I read yesterday, guy said to remove and replace.

    Ok this was on the case itself but might be the same if used internally.

    What happened is ... I had sent pictures of the internals of my amp , my mate then said they have issues and pointed out that corrosion to me which I thought was from the pictures that I sent him ffs I could slap him .
    Here is the component in my amp ...
    Just glue .... phew

    A Marantz pm4 if I'm correct? I find the glue turns corrosive over the years, check that it's not touching any other components.

    That black square looking thing in the middle of the photo looks like a black flag capacitor, they have a very high failure rate.
