I have not been on the site since Feb 18/07 and have decided to ask for hands-on help.Please review my post of that date and the helpful replies.Although I am in Toronto,I am prepared to mail it to Oklahoma(Rob) or anywhere else if someone feels they can remove that noise at a reasonable cost with capacitor change or??.It really is mint and well built but I can't live with that background noise.I will not hold anyone responsible for a failed attempt.Thanks!

I'm not a proffessional but I have learned how to repair most of the units I have come across. Please tell me more about your problem. I will do my best to solve this for you.
