Hi to all:
A couple of days ago there was a very loud crack, pop or bang then some
continuous crackling that came from the speaker. I was in the next room when
this happened.
At present, the receiver will not receive. The S-meter is pegged to the
right. When turning the radio on the S-meter smashes against the right side of
meter. Normal characteristics of the S meter, in the past during warm up, has
been a slow rise to the right and a gentle lowering to the the left. The S
meter would then settle to S-zero if a dummy load was connected. The crystal
calibrator cannot be heard now.
When moving volume control there is lots of crackling or scratching noises.
I replaced all tubes in the radio and the above symptoms are still present. I
did not see any smoke or fire. During visual inspection on top and bottom of
chassis I did not see any burnt components.
What should I do next?
73,
Chuck - AA5WG
