[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 71747, member: 807"] I replaced all the wax and electrolytic capacitors, and 2 burned resistors in the Pilot - and got some stations! But the 2 big electrolytics I used were from my box of "ancient stored since new" parts, and are leaky, getting quite hot in action. So I certainly need some new ones. But happily, the main point is it works! It does produce an obvious hum. I don't know yet if this is from the two leaky electrolytics, or if it is inevitable with a field-coil loudspeaker. - although it does have a hum-bucking coil. [/QUOTE]
