Another Oops Moment
#1

And the hits keep a coming.

[Just for the record I am working on four (4) different 42-PT95's, two (2) 46-200, a 48-200 and a 41-221]

I had just got back a 42-PT95 from having the tuner repaired, recalibrated and it was working terrific. I took the chassis out so I could put the handle back on [I removed it to refinish before I shipped it out for repair, and so it wouldn't be quite so bulky in the shipping box]

In anycase I put the handle back on and put the radio back into the case.

Now .... wait for it .... The radio is emmitting an annoying buzzing even when the volume is all the way down. Yes I still get radio stations but I also have buzz. Uggg !

Any thoughts. Did one of the electrolytic capacitors (which were replaced) go bad. A short ?

Would mind a laundry list of things to check.

I can believe the luck I am having. It is not like I am throwing these radios against the wall or using them in a balloon toss game.

I appreciate the help I am getting on the forum.


btw - This is the same radio in the following threads on this Phorum
