My wife's early version TR82C has a crackle present at switch on(both bands) but clears a few minutes after switch on. Does the team think this could be resistor noise ?
Actually the whole set could do with an overhaul, it sounds slightly distorted, the volume control crackles when operated and the tone control doesn't.
I don't think the insides have been touched since '59!
