This reminded me of a funny situation a long time ago. I was with someone on a very big job, who can be quite Anal. Anyway I was soldering some ends and the other guy was as well, I had twisted the cable in the usual manner and handed it to him to solder, he just laughed nervously and twisted them back the other way and then carried on soldering. Not a word was mentioned. He is a very clever guy, so perhaps he knows something I don't.

This wasn't as bad as the Guy who insisted I cut 7 strands from a cable before I connected, but he was Hi Fi.

Never mind the amp - what´s up with your trousers? Two-tone denims - or did you spill something on them?  Smile

Jeans are fine, must be a trick of the light, will put proper pic in amp internals when (amp) all cleaned up, got 2 new fans and a set of o/p transistors to fit after someone fitted a fake transistor and an undersized fan on one channel

"Had that cap just fallen off?"

That would explain the buzz. Hot glue is our friend.

Shan't use hotmelt glue, it will fracture, prefer contact adhesive.
I suspect the lead-free solder failed.

Not if you use enough of it!   Smile

Contact is good as well, but I don´t like the smell.  Reminds me too much of some of the horrible squat venues I worked years ago in the UK.   Embarrassed
