[Hallicrafters] S38C - FADING

[Jim Welsh]

Hi

My recently "restored" Hallicrafters S38C worked weel for many months, however, it now starts up OK but then fades to silence - see the following.

The AF side of the set seems fine and does not "participate" in the fading. 

On start-up, the panel light glows bright, then dims, then comes up to a useful brightness, the set plays, then fades. The band-switch has been cleaned, ditto the others.

A while back I replaced the main power capicitors, so I do not think that they have much to do with the problem.

Any help (on or off the reflector) would be appreciated.
