Rowe RI-1 Noise When Engaged

[waryan]

I have an RI-1 that I have functioning pretty well, except for one issue. There is a lot of noise when the player starts to engage. I can lift the tonearm up and the noise continues. It is a popping and loud hum. The noise will go up and down with the volume control. My gut tells me this is a grounding issue based on my experience with other hifi systems.

I have a can of deoxit if that can help.

I do believe that monkeying with the pin connection that goes to the RCA plugs makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I ended up spraying deoxit D5 on just about every connection I could find. Problem solved.
