I have a Japan NRD 525 which I love and is fairly uncomplicated to use, but very recently I've had severe static problems. And I am wondering if something is wrong with my long wire antennas, or is it in the radio? I have another older radio that I hooked up to my antennas and find there is no static so I am led to believe it is in the radio. Any thoughts or suggestion on where I can go to find out the source of the static, as it is really bad.

Thanks, I reseated the boards after giving them a good spray cleaning and found the hiss and static problems have gone-completely gone. Seems as if the sensitivity is more acute now. Anyway, it was a good idea, and thanks guys.
Same here - I just removed the boards and sprayed all the sockets with Servisol and it's like a different RX. No hiss and S/N ratio is amazing!
