Help trouble shoot Scott combo

Posted by Cpwill (A) on March 28, 2020 at 09:35:03

I having been using a Scott 310-D tuner/335 multiplex combination for quite a while. Lately it has been going as berserk as my 2-ish year old pit bull pooch. It will play fine for a while and than go to total loud static with the meter pegged to the right. Rotating the tuning dial has no impact; nothing but static as the meter remains pegged. Because of the meter issue, I assume the problem is with the tuner, not the multiplex, but I could be wrong. Sometimes, if I disconnect the antenna, it will return to normal and I can pick up my favorite station, which is 50K watts and less than 2 miles away. Other times the meter pegs to the left and I get nothing but a softer static. If it returns to normal and I reconnect the antenna, sometimes the problem returns right away, other times, it plays fine for a while before the problem returns. I can never try to listen for more than say 20 minutes +/- before it goes haywire. I have double checked the antenna connections and all tubes are well seated and glowing. Beyond that, I know nothing about tuner maintenance/repair compared to amps, preamps, etc.

So, any suggestions of what I could look for before trying to find a reputable repair service.

Thanks in advance.
