I have a set of maybe 25 year old Fisher speakers that I was thinking would be nice for the shop. Not been used in a long time and have been in a dry basement. Hooked them up and the sound is muffled. Decided to look inside. Speakers look fine. There are a couple electrical components wired in-line between the three speakers in each box. I took pictures. I believe the greenish ones are capacitors. Not sure about the small rectangular ones. Was wondering if anyone knew what might have gone wrong with these? Can bad caps cause muffled or muted sound? What are the rectangular things? I recapped the selection receiver on a 1953 Seeburg many years ago (a kit with great instructions) so I know enough to be dangerous.
