*Solved Minerva Tropic Master model w117 "early"-crackle pop & no vol ****SOLVED
#70

If you're totally discouraged just put it back together, stick it on a shelf somewhere, and take on your next project.  Eventually you can come back to it with some more experience and tackle it once again. 

Taking a break from something like this lets your mind wander back to the problem now-and-then and sometimes a bright light flashes on with something else/new to try.  You'd be surprised what you see in a chassis the second time around that wasn't obvious the first time.  Like Red Green says, I'm pulling for you, we're all in this crazy hobby together:
