thanks tom,,,, i may do that.
update....
i do have shortwave,,
also,,
no poping or crackle.
Problem- I notice now with the volume all the way down, the radio powers up but the volume is up slightly like if you have the radio turned with the knob slightly up.
in other words i can power up the set and just after the "on/off" click, let it warm up and the volume is sufficient to hear throughout the garage.......
so....
i will attempt to insert a series resistor of some value on the wiper of the volume control so that when i power up and vol is down, there is no sound.
