Bad Popping sound/Hums First -R.Side!

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi,I have a PC-55JW that had some damage but not bad but the right side Hums when Zi first turn it on then it goes to a smaller pop then barely pops then goes away after 10-15 minutes! On batteries at first there wasn’t any popping then there was after a while of it not being plugged in.
Any suggestions?
The left speaker jacks on amp were pushed in some,It got dropped somehow.
I’m thinking it could be a bad diode or capacitor.
Very small crack I found on very edge of circuit board I’ll show.

Here’s the photos. The damage on the speaker inputs was pushed back into its groove. No visible damage here.
The small section of circuit board that seems to be chipped has no visible contacts broken.
But that doesn’t mean something’s a miss.
Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.
Everything works excep right side acting up.
Funny that after 10-15 minutes on AC it totally goes away.
BTW,only right side but when I increase volume humming/popping goes away then comes back as I lower the volume.

if like to get this fixed or get another nice condition PC-55 JW amp section.
BTW will a ‘C’ model plug in the same on this as a JW?

It might be the four caps connected to the speaker Jack.

I thought of that,because they were pushed in! I need to test them to see I guess. That might be the first thing I should do.
Thanks Floyd,how are you doing?
I haven’t been around much,I’ve had a lot of things going on. Just been a couple of rough years!! Getting better though!
Thanks again!

It’s funny though as it’s the ‘other side’ that’s popping.

There are 4 caps on each channel

I do most of my working on boomboxes in the fall and winter because it's too hot to do anything around here in the summer. The humidity we get is ridiculous.
I do have a lot of spare parts left. If the PC 55 . if I have it you have it.

I also have spare complete PC 55 speakers.

Hi Floyd,I’ll do that for sure this weekend.
Been a crazy week,just to much stuff going on. Got kind of sick from to much stress/anxiety but am ok now.

yes,I met Jimmy and it was so hard losing a friend!
Yes we’ll talk soon.

crazy thing about these Pc-55’s-I’ve got 3 of them but one is a original I bought brand new in85’!
The other being a rare ‘C’ model that’s the 93 watter with the aux.A/C inlet on back!
Then a mint just mint one and that has the tuner section that is wacky.
I can never mix or mess with my original 55JW,it’s my original!
The ‘C’ model I don’t want to try to use that tuner as it could have some difference because the mint one is a JW.
I’ll get this figured out,does sound like a bad cap like you said but I need to get a cap.tester.
I love these things,the mint one has a perfect deck! All segments working that’s why I really want to get this tuner/amp fixed or replaced.
All my speakers are super so I’m good there.

I do want to do a upgrade someday on the woofers,I heard that if you use the right highquality drivers it can make a big difference.
I sometimes think I can watch TV in these things as the displays are ‘The Bomb’!!!
Ttys and have a Good Friday night.
