Default Does your Drake R7A Do This?

A few years ago I bought a minty Drake R7A. I sent it to Drake for a complete
refurbish and they did a wonderful job. However, I always wondered about the
volume output. When the volume knob is turned down all the way I still hear
audio coming from my speaker or headphones. Is this typical of these units?
It's not a big deal but it does make me wonder. If this is not typical, what
can I do to make it work like other rigs.

It is typical after a suitable replacement could no longer be found by Drake.
The same thing has apparently happened with the R8B. Proper replacements are
VERY hard to find.
