> Hi,  I am in the process of restoring a Hallicrafters Model S-38 radio.  I

connections.
>    When I turn the radio on,   there is a loud buzz/hum from the speaker.
> I had previously checked the speaker using a different source and it works
> fine.    The volume control does not have any effect on the buzz/hum,  the
> noise is the same loudness independent of the volume control setting.
Any
