Hope someone can help me out!
So here’s the story, I’ll try to keep it short. Bought a Crack in 2010, assembled it and had issues getting it to power up. Got side tracked…(life) fast forward to last week.
My Stereomour’s power switch gave up the ghost after 8 years, not bad for a little piece of plastic. So I order a new one and popped it in. Great, that worked!
So I thought to myself, it’s time to tackle the Crack and find out where I messed up.
Did my due diligence and found the issue, a disconnected wire and bad soldering. Did the resistance check, all good. Fired it up and the tubes glowed beautifully. Did my voltage tests and all was well until I got to terminal 20. I got a zero reading and the manual says 206 VDC. So I checked terminal 21and I got 200 VDC. My first though was that maybe there was an error in manual. So I checked the forum and found an article about corrections, unfortunately the link was no longer active.
I decided to proceed and check the TRS jack voltage. All good there.
I felt relatively confidant that I wasn’t gonna blow anything up so I connected my source and spent the next 3 hours in sonic heaven!
So here’s the problem, this morning I fired up the Crack and after 10-15 seconds there’s a repeating hum about every .5 seconds, hum…hum…hum… very even, both sides of the cans.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim
