Ferrograph Quiet Crackly Audio
Hello. I've recently been working on a Ferrograph Series 5.
I've sorted out most of the major problems it had however when I was replacing some of the resistors and capacitors in the amplifier (since they had gone quiet out of spec) a new problem has come up.
The audio had gone extremely quiet and there's a noticeable crackling noise even with the gain at 0. Also no hum that I can usually hear with valve equipment.
The meter also no longer moves down to zero when in record mode and it does not erase the tape (it did before).
I tried giving the valves a wiggle when it was on to see if it was a loose socket connection but no such luck.
Any pointers on places I should start looking?
Cheers.
