You may have some glue on the bottom.

Can you hear any shortcomings? Is schmoo your only evidence?

I would be hesitant.

I tried to remove some specs from my theater projector last year. Have a new projector now.

Be cautious.
It may be glue but I don't think so. The top of the caps are slightly bulged. Other than that the amp is working fine.
I connected a Bluetooth adapter and it blew both output fuses. Serves me right for insulting the amp with a digital device.

I think it would be best to take it to someone who can tell me for sure.
There's an old guy in a hifi shop that I've know for years. He'd know but he's on the other side of town.
