Hi,

Visually investigated the state of the Smoothing can and its has a pronounced bulge where the tags protrude. Will need replacing, John (HCS) is kindly sending me a replacement, so I will have to wait until then.

Incidently my gut feeling on the hum was smoothers right back when i started last Saturday, but Jeffrey and others what I fail to understand is why the hum was present when the F2 (fuse) was removed does anyone have a clue on that.

Re TopCap advice, thanks for that I was not aware regarding the EY86 lead and making sure its solder head is smooth. I have resoldered and it has a nice smooth top now.
