Re: H/K 430 not working - need help

To start with, I would spray out the controls and switches with d-oxit to eliminate that source of noise. Other than that, the only components prone to degrading from lack of use are the electrolytic capacitors, as others have suggested. I have fixed quite a few things by checking the 'lytics with an ESR meter, and replacing any that have a high ESR. Next to my DMM, the ESR meter is my most valuable piece of test equipment. If you plan on making this a hobby, you should consider buying one. Of course there are the extremists who don't bother checking them, and just replace all the 'lytics when restoring an old unit. (Nothing wrong with that, if you want to invest that much time and money)
