Re: General Washington
I'm interested in this too. A hum usually means a cap is bad in the filtering section. I know it is an "RCI" board but what number is it?

Re: General Washington
That is the same board as the Galaxy 77HML, there is probably a cold solder joint on the board near the big capacitor in the back right. Follow the power leads in and start checking there.

Re: General Washington
Try tightening the ground screws that secure the circuit board to the chassis...
