Stan,
Scratching Q21 is certainly NOT a *fix* by any means!!! It is a 'GO --
NO-GO' test only.
BUT it is one 'no-tools' method that can effectively produce the noise
that the KNB2 is capable of suppressing. Of course, the preamp must be
on to bring Q21 into the circuit.

scratching the top of a transistor as a fix???? Ha ha ha ha....c'mon now.
