Admiral 5J22 Still Hummms
10/2/2006 7:31:16 PMGary
I'm still struggling to get the hum out. Set has been recapped and swapping out the 50L6 or 35Z5 had no effect. The hum decreases as the volume is set to a higher level (in between stations). It's not loud, but loud enough to hear when listening at a low volume level. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary

Are caps connected to the same ground point as they were originally? Sometimes using a point only a short distance away can cause hum. Since hum is louder with volume turned down has the volume control ground been moved? You might try connecting it to different places. Maybe a wire direct from volume control to negative of the filter caps would reduce hum?
