It’s kind of dull and crusty while glue is usually shiny and smooth. I’m not sure which, although my guess it’s a leak.
The bottom however look like they could either be leaking or perhaps surrounded by a glue of sorts. Usually if they are bad I notice a bulging at the top, however the three capacitors on the power supply board look fine on top. The power cable was fine, the switch looked good, along with everything else…BUT… the Electrolytic Capacitors looked funny to me on the Power Supply Board. I opened up the synth and inside everything seemed clean and connected. Inside the Juno-2 seems pretty basic, so I thought I would scout around and see if I could find the problem in the hopes that it might be a simple fix. I do try to repair my own synths, however I usually leave the Power supply area alone as that is not my strong point. It’s like the power doesn’t even get to first base or even into the machine. When you flip the power switch it’s completely dead. The Juno-2 is in excellent condition all around. I open a lot of synths and I can tell that I’m the first one to crack it open. The Roland Juno-2 basically has never been opened.
Above is a photo of my work area where I’m currently testing the broken Juno-2 (bottom one) with a fully operational one above (top). I thought maybe I could fix it, but it’s proven to be quite stubborn. He gave it to me because he already had too many door stops…laugh. The owner said it worked before putting it into storage, and then about a year later he turned it on and nothing happened.

Recently I acquired my 3rd Roland Juno 2 synth for free because it simply wouldn’t turn on.
