Hi guy's,
Looking at my 300x and had a couple questions.
Noticed that as soon as I apply the power, I get all kinds of static and crackling noises. This is immediately upon turning it on, before the tubes warm up.
Anyone ever run into this before or have a suggestion as to what could cause this?
Then my second question is, why is there a plastic cover glued over the band selector windows that tell you what band your on.
The light comes on when your on any of the 3 bands, and goes out when switching to the pushbutton mode. Then another light on the bottom lights.
Did people complain about the lighted portholes for the different bands?
I kind of like having the band selector lights to be visible.
Also noticed that after let it run for about 10 minutes, the magnet on the speaker was pretty warm. Is this normal?
Have it plugged into a speaker out a 40-190. Same plug, but the 190 speaker says its an 1100 ohm. Don't see the ohm rating listed on the 300 speaker. WHen run to the 300 speaker, sounds the same.
No parts list for this one on Nostalgia.
Should probably get a parts list.
