hello, I found this radio a while ago, after I moved it to my house it started to act up and now whenever I turn it on and tune into a station it won’t stop making a noise I can only describe as an “automatic rifle” firing nonstop coming through the speaker, I can still kinda make out some of the music playing but it gets completely overwhelmed by the “noise”. Could it be that a valve is dead or Dying? Or maybe a couple capacitors / resistors are too old?
