Stay with it... When the fault prevails itself, youll kick yourself over it for days sayin"how did i missed that?!"

Had that with an RCA with an audio problem. About a month later i discovered a ground wire tucked to the side i forgot to resolder when restuffed an e-cap.. Found it while going through some before pics.

I haven't read if the wax capacitors had been changed? I recently restored the same,set and changed most of them. The few I did not change were shunted by resistances much lower than the leakage e.g. 1kohm or 10kohm with leakage about 10Mohm.

The wax capacitors will be all bad. You will have to change pretty well all of them to get it to work.

They're all gone...replaced with good quality Panasonic film caps and I substituted Rubycon electrolytics for all the cans.
