Notice the strip of foam on top of the rectangular metal box which is part of the IF board?
Notice also that it looks like it once had another piece of this foam on top of the power transformer, but is now missing save for the residue of where it was once stuck on there?
It looks to me like it might be similar to some speaker gasket material I have on hand...
What say you, Mike (morzh)? Would speaker gasket material be OK as a replacement for the foam here?
Incidentally, after I removed the top cover, I powered the set up - no more thump. So it is definitely being caused by inrush to the transformer as it is energized.
Even though the off-on switch is working now, I think I will replace it anyway. I would not want to leave it plugged in only to have it come on by itself sometime...
