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.

Hi John,

The R7A I almost bought did it too. I think it's something they all so
slightly, at least.

Well, only the ones with a bad part. As I stated earlier, the original part no longer being available, Drake offered the part which would not allow the volume to be completely shut down.

I've had several R7's which did operate properly.
