I installed a new capacitor to replace the original C172 in my GS1200. As careful as I was it looks like I have created 2 solder bridges. Looking at the back of the board, where the top cap terminal is, solder is touching the terminal to it's right.
These two points appear to be part of one printed circuit but need advice. The same thing happened at the bottom terminal.
solder is touching the terminal beside it to the right. These terminals appear to be part of another printed circuit. I would appreciate advice on this.

Hi Burt, What I do is resolder the points you have solder. By using a desoldering tool. To clean it up. Once that is done. Than resolder the joints your doing! After that try it out. Hopefully you should be alright! Let me know how you made out! Don't worry if mess up I have a couple Amp Assy.boards left! Leon.

Also Burt, I think the amp board might be double sided. They can be a real bugger to work on! Leon.
