I've just plugged in a Quad 34 preamp that's been unused for a few
years. When I turn the volume control up there's a series of loud high
pitched clicks through the speakers, a bit like LP static discharge
maybe. It was fine last time it was used.

Does this sound like an expensive problem, or would I be better off
punting it on ebay, and buying another (about £80 it seems)?

Thanks, Rob



I think you need to go into a bit more detail - it clicks but does it
play music? Are the clicks as you move the volume control or after you
have moved it and taken your hand off?

Ultimately Quad kit is well made and relatively simple. If you can find
the handbook it probably contains the circuit diagram so should be
fairly easy for someone competent in electronics to repair. Or you can
send it to Quad in Huntingdon where they have a superb service
department.
