Philco 51-532 transitone squeaks, hums, and crackles (a little bit)
#3

I'm sorry, I forgot. I went back and found a couple of resistors to replace that I had not caught the first time: R5 was measuring at around 200 ohms-should be 68 ohms, and R 4 was measuring way off in place, but when I removed it, it was on the money...I replaced it anyway.

I caught a bigger problem at C 5. I had put in a .0003 uf cap in stead of a .003 uf cap. I replaced it.

I powered it up again, and this time I get no squeals at all, but a buzzing that gets stronger where there seems to be stations on the dial...occasionally, it almost sounds like a signal getting through. Again, the pilot light burns brighter where the signal seems to be. I guess that is normal for an AA5?
