I recently acquired a TD145.
But when it gets about to the last track it will generate a loud hum.
Sometimes it will do this immediately.
What's the first thing to check? Solder joints? Anything else?



I would make sure that the cartridge connections are tight and the
ground wire to the amp. is solidly attached at both ends. You might
want to change the rca cables as a test. Rarely the tone arm wires
will go intermittent and need to be replaced. Chuck
