Report "white noise. Have taken a look inside, and replaced the crumbling leads into the pre-amp. There is some rust on the inside of the tuner cover (where the paint wasn't applied properly during manufacture). It normally sits underneath the amp in the stereo cabinet (open-fronted, no doors). When I place it on the floor, away from the amp, it definitely cuts out less often, but still does it. Is this interference from the amp, or some kind of moisture build-up from being on the shelf? I can't see anything else wrong inside - but I know nothing about tuners, just looking for obvious faults"
