Good afternoon everyone,
I recently acquired a Scott type 130, and after getting it up and running, I noticed that if I turn the volume on the preamp down, one of the channels plays a fair amount of mid-to-low frequency audio, and changing the volume has no effect. It seems that regardless of the settings, this spectrum of the sound still comes out. If I set the volume control to an appropriate level and play music, everything sounds great, but if I adjust the balance to the other side, I STILL get those same frequencies out of the other channel.
If necessary, I could probably film this phenomenon and post it to youtube for reference.
Does anyone have any idea what would cause this, or how I should go about figuring it out. I'll be honest that I have yet to ever open up any tube gear, but I am not opposed to reading and learning how to troubleshoot. I also have a competent electrical engineer friend that I can use for help.
All input is appreciated. Thank you.
