Hey Gang,
My 52-541 transitone has been playing really good lately, I had it on for about four hours yesterday, it all of a sudden went to loud static. no reception anywhere, volume control does work, and will silence the static.
I tried all new tubes, checked antenna connections, looked underneath for loose conections, nothin.... I unsoldered the oscillator transformer, and both IF xfmr's, all ohmed out to within .2 ohms of spec. put it back together its working...... Its been playing on the bench for the last three hours.
...anyone have any suggestions? is one of the xfmrs opening up intermittantly?
