Done restoring a 53-1750 Radio/Phono console. Replaced ALL caps and most resistors. I also replaced the cap underneath the phonograph where all the guts are. When I turn the selector knob to phono, I get a pretty good buzz which is not present on the radio band(s). Gets even worse when I put my hand near the needle arm. It does play the records fine (also put in new belt and idler wheel) --but has this background buzz/hum while in phono mode. Maybe it's just interference being picked up from electric devices in the house?? Not sure. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Mike
