A few weeks ago while listening to FM I noticed a faint crackling/static sound from right channel. The sound resembles an LP with a scratch. The frequency was intermittent but I'd say several seconds between occurrences. I mmediately turned it off. When things cooled down I pulled the power tubes and tuner tubes and placed them back. It's in a case so the rest are not accessible. Subsequent use displayed none of this sound.
FF to last Sunday. I put it on the bench. All tubes removed, pins and sockets cleaned with Deoxit. Adjusted bias. Placed back into service. All was fine until yesterday. Same crackle sound. Specifics:
Right channel only.
Heard when Balance control is all the way to Left.
Heard when Volume is at minimum.
Heard regardless of Input selection.
Thoughts for trouble shooting?
Thanks
Oh, there are no Rice Crispies in it!
