I am somewhat of a newbie and need some help with my Marshall Amp model 8240.
The Problem, My amp makes a buzzing noise when I pluck a note it starts out quiet then comes up to volume with a lot of buzz or distortion. I have done some reading around other forums and read problems similar to mine are capacitor related.
I pulled my amp apart and browsed over all of the capacitors and found one with some dry gunk coming from the bottom of it. I looked at the schematic and I can't make heads or tales from it. I was hoping someone here might be able to help me if they take a look at the schematic.
I am waiting on a new to me fluke 87V should be here this week then I will pull and test said capacitor to verify it's condition.

The capacitor is C34 it is located near the top right corner and to the left of where it says transformer no. T5968. Could C34 make the problem that the amp has?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
