Just remember that ESR readings on most supply caps should be extremely low in "resistance". I use my scope to spot problems but I can't seem to convince anyone else to do likewise.

P/S hum in s/b Mark, It kind of sounds like a bad cap. It's coming from the power supply circuit. I have pressure in my ears, so it's hard to pin point the location. The hum starts low and gradually increase in about 5 seconds after set is in standby.

P/S hum in s/b A hum from where? High frequency? Low frequency? The speaker? The power supply circuit? Does the set operate normally otherwise. From my experience a high frequency noise from the supply in standby can be caused by a bad cap. They wont always test bad either but you can spot them with your scope. But if its a lower frequency "hum" then it may be from the AC line choke. A little hot glue or silicon glue can cure that. I'm guessing Jeff. If anyone has a manual on Admiral I want them to let me know about it. Admiral, Apex,........etc, etc. They never intended for those things to be repaired. No service support so far as I know but I would be thrilled to be proven wrong. Mark Wentowski Perry Hill Electronics 3836 Harrison Rd.

P/S hum in s/b Set came in dead. Replaced shorted HOT (2SD2627) with NAP 483513048195.. Set has an Orion CRT and I think the main board is Toshiba...has VMX180C imprinted on it. Set will come on now, but in stand by there is a hum. IC 501 output at 4.4vdc..Input is 6vdc. It looks like this comes from Q504(2SC1815) This is as far as I got with out a schematic. Has anyone seen this before, or have a schematic I can borrow..be faxed or emailed (of this section)to me? Thank you.
