English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Sampler issues, hiss on line, temperature related

I just noticed one of my samplers doing some annoying hiss that later disappears.
Today I thought that this could be related to temperature so I opened it up and blew hot air to it while it was making the noise. A few seconds later and the noise was gone!

Does this sound to you like capacitor fault? All the other components seem to be ICs so it has to be some of the analogue stuff.
The thing is pretty old and I bet it could use a cap replacement, but I want to make sure before I go all the way to do such work, don't really want to do it for nothing.
