 Working on a Hallicrafters S-40A. Recently recapped and aligneed. Now when
I first turn the radio on I get a loud crackling from the speaker for
several minutes, even with the Volume and sensitivity full yclockwise.
 Have already rechecked all my solder joints to ensure that they are good
and solid. Also made sure the ground tabs for the replacement can were
soldered to the chassis correctly. This helped some but still get the
crackling for abt 30-60 seconds.
 Not sure where to look next. Any advice would help since I am still a
newbie at troubleshooting tube radios.

tnx es 73 de W7DTG Don
