How to fix noise static Vintage Tube AM Radio amplifier section Repair tip

Another fine TEK Tip from D-lab electronics. This time, I show how to track down that pesty static noise (lightning crashes). You may think its just a trait of AM radio reception, however that is not always the case. This radio needed a complete cap replacement, as all radios of this era do. Normally that solves the issue. In this case the true culprit was a arching mica cap (migration) This symptom is becoming more common as radio electronics age. So, if your doing a complete cap swap on your old rig, dont forget the micas! Also featured is the arrival of the D-lab exclusive wine glasses, bearing my new logo art. If you would like one, either visit my website (Donate and get the glass) or send me a message thru comments and I will get you hooked up with one, two, whatever. Thanks to all for keeping me motivated. Logo shirts are in the works. TD
