I just received the radio, brought up the power, played well for about
five minutes, then the hum started, a noise like sizzling bacon, a
faint burning odor, then I shut off power immediately. Is it the
electrolytic capacitors, the rectifier, both? Any suggestions would
help.
Thanks,
Bob Grimes

Bob, why did you do that

Electrolytics should have been changed, and fuse the
AC! A faint burning odor the is transformer overheating.
