Penta Mk3 loud pop on power up

[Nick Davison]

Hi All

I have a problem with one of my Mk3s the I’m hoping someone can help with.

 

With mains power on and no speaker plug connected, when I select left source on the speaker switch I get a loud Pop.  It also pops as I deselect to Off.

 

With the speaker connected to an old Avant Tv as the tv is turned on and therefore initiates the speaker, with the speaker switch set to either Left or Right, it pops.  Similarly as the TV de-selects the speaker when the TV is turned off it pops again.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Nick

When I say pop it isn’t something that can be lived with, it’s more of a loud crack I guess and sounds like it will be doing some sort of damage.  One of my others has a quiet pop but nothing like this and as with yours peeps, totally acceptable.
