Scope, and trace it backwards. -Where it stops... You've found the problem.

That really is the only way that I know of.

You say "re-capped". It sounds ominous the way you include that particular piece of info, like you mean "this happened when it was re-capped"... In which case it's probably whatever mistake was made when the re-capping was done... which nobody may be able to predict.

If it's not coincident time-wise, there's probably no connection.

I have the feeling that I have more experience in my little finger than you do in your whole body about audio electronics..

Opamps can go bad.

Guess you'll just need to keep moving the good one to where you need it.

Coming soon to Fox video special...

When op-amps go bad!!!

Yes. -It happens. Also, dodgy soldering anywhere around the inverting input/negative feedback path can cause that sort of thing.

Sounds like you've sorted it though.
