Hi everyone I am new to this forum along with new to repairing antique radios. I am hooked and also stuck. I Hope someone can help me. have an eight tubed Philco 40-190. I replaced some dried out plastic wires, the elect. caps, and half of the regular caps. It is working but I have a low snapping noise coming out with the audio. It speeds up when I turn up the volume then disapears. What is causing this and what should I replace first? Could it be a tube, resistor, or even a choke? Has anyone had an experience like this. Thank you for any help.
