There is not an appropriate forum to place this because it is not audio and not DIY, so...
Poking around online yielded nothing and I hope that someone can assist.
My little vintage color organ all of a sudden began outputting a hum through the input speaker line wires. It is audible through my system on R (it, and the R speaker are together), and was initially puzzled because that hum was heard after all audio equip was turned off, then unplugged.
It was at that point I noticed the the organ's lights are fully lit all of the time now. and that it's new output hum is truly there- checked by connecting only it directly to a speaker. Receiver is fine.
As a side note, my Phonics Digitrack DAC (iMac to receiver input) died at the same time. I cannot imagine a correlation, but maybe?
Any ideas? A failed component in the color organ is my guess but upon inspection, nothing 'blown' and having left evidence of failure.
