Hi Chris.

Is the popping/clicking sound on every key?

Hi all,


Long time owner, haven't played my 'tron in about 7 years or so. I had it gone through about a year before that (new PS caps, new capstan bearings, new rollers, new belt, new Streetly tapes/frame, new Streetly heads, etc.). It had its motor control board changed sometime in the 90s.


Fired it up tonight and I noticed some popping/clicking sounds in the audio... anyone experience that before? I have to go through the keyboard and adjust the action and all but this popping/clicking is a new one on me.


Thoughts?


Cheers,
Chris
