Rock ola 474 amp
I just pick up two Rockola 474's and the one I'm working on has static in the right speaker all the time sometimes you can hear it over the music. I have replaced most all of the electrolytic capacitors on the driver board, the pre amp and the power board with no change in the noise. has any one ever had this before.
Thank you for your help Dave Niccum Georgetown, Il USA |

Thank you for your help Dave Niccum Georgetown, Il USA Unlikely to be a capacitor, more likely a resistor or transistor or even a noisy electrical connection. First, try unplugging the input to the amp. If that solves the noise then check the cartridge and wiring. When you adjust the volume does the noise go up/down with it? If yes, then the problem is either the volume control or in the pre-amp. If it doesn't change then the problem is most likely in the power amp section. An audio signal tracer is what you want to track that down! John :-#)# -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.

If you have an oscilloscope you can probe the same points on both channels looking for the noise. Otherwise you can narrow it down, does the volume of the static vary with the volume control or is it always at the same volume? Does it go away during scan when the box is muted? It's most likely a transistor. Without test equipment you can often narrow it down by temperature. Most noisy components are noisier when warm. Get a can of freeze spray (or computer duster, just turn it upside-down) and give a light spray to each transistor during operation. The one that causes the noise to go away or drop substantially is the culprit. |
