i have never seen this before, so I am puzzled. A recently acquired 6160 is fading in and out of volume and distortion (equally on both channels), especially as I turn up the volume. It does it with any input, fm, am, aux, phono, does not matter. I rebuilt the two power boards and checked all the larger caps in the unit. I have cleaned all pots and it still is doing it.
So, I have maybe narrowed it down to the caps in the tone board or the preamp board OR maybe a bad volume control??? Any help in setting my direction for next step appreciated !
