Well I have now put some power on it via the lamp limiter. It works although the bulbs don't light but it tunes and find stations. An there is hum. It does get a little louder with volume, but when a station is tuned in the audio is very distorted. I suspect this is the "horrible noise" the owner reported. Does this sound like the UL41? I'll swap the one out of the DAC90a to test but I have to pack everything away for a week now as we have visitors next weekend and the "workshop" has to be returned to a bedroom.
Thanks again for the advice.
