Arran,

I did not do the work myself but rather "farmed" this out to a company Atlas Audio in Pittsburgh PA. I know that the capacitors have been replaced (paper and electrolytic). I also believe that the resistors were tested and replaced if found bad.

I do not believe they changed any of the wiring, and the radio looked like it had all original components in it before any work was done.

I am not really sure what a bypass capacitor is (one of the paper capacitors ?) So I really don't know about that. This is occuring as stated before on 2 radios that are essentially the same (46-200, 48-200).

I have contacted Atlas Audio to describe the problem, and have given them a link to this thread. I am awaiting a resolution from them,but would also appreciate any ideas from forum members.
