Hi everybody! My 737 is cutting in and out with super loud popping and crackles (hence my name) if it sits for a long period it wil come on and work for about 5 minutes and then pretty much not work at all with occasional resurfacing for 10 secs. After reading through some posts I tried the tape monitor switches and they do have an effect while the receiver is making noise (its usual state is powered up with no sound).
I just ordered my deoxit and it clearly needs it, but I was wondering if there was any way to test the switches, or bypass them to troubleshoot? And do these switches interact with the protection board, which was what I thought was the issue and may still be?
I do plan to follow markthefixer's guide and restore for sound quality, but i would like to know the issue before the parts swapping begins.
