I just finished my 40-180 restoration and now that it is all together I am hearing a slight hum.

I can disconnect the speaker and get a little hum I guess just from the transformer itself resonating through the cabinet but once I connect speaker it gets a tad louder.

I don't recall hearing this when it was on the bench.

Do these units usually exhibit a slight hum or do I have something else going on?

Most might not hear it but I can of course Icon_wink
