Okey dokey... thanks guys. I'll try these ideas tomorrow. One other problem popped up. I left the radio turned on all day. After about 5 hours of playing, the transformer started buzzing like a vibrator. It stays nice and cool, it just buzzes like a little motor. I suppose there is something loose inside it, and I need to rebond it? I tried cranking the bolts tighter, but it didn't help. Any ideas on this?
