I must admit this receiver will probably benefit from the Sherwood audio board, however comparing both my R4C's one is perfect with no hum and very good audio whilst this one is shushy and has bad hum, maybe the main caps need replacing but when I couple another cap accross them no change so I a

I have a very nice R4C it had a hum with bad audio distortion so I decided to investigate, whilst taking it apart I noticed that if I touched the noise blanker the hum would alter, I removed the NB board and the hum was still there, I found eventually that the audio transistor had desoldered its
