But I think though that more than likely it's the hum bucking coil, that's bad, like I already suggested, I was just throwing that out there as an alternative idea. |

You could try bypassing the bucking coil or reversing the leads and see if hum improves.

How would I do that? Which wires go to the hum bucking coil? I'm asking because I don't want to accidentally cut the wrong wires.

I'm guessing the hum bucking coil is the black and white wires coming out of the coil on the back of the speaker shown in the picture below?

OK, so a little update, I removed the original speaker from the cabinet and replaced the original speaker plug with the one from my parts unit, and hooked the original speaker up to the radio with it outside the cabinet and no hum! So was it maybe something weird with the old speaker plug and something weird with the cabinet?

I'm not familiar with that radio, but I'd guess the black and white wires are L16( the speaker field). The humbucking coil is a separate coil(likely sandwiched to one end of L16), that is wired in series with the voice coil. Reversing the field could have the same result as reversing the hum bucking coil, resulting in more hum. The way to figure that out is to try reversing it. Whichever way produces less hum is correct. |
