Hello,

I am in the process of restoring an old S-120 which needed a new
potentiometer. I have replaced the part w/a new one (same type) and at this
moment, when I turn the radio on, I hear nothing but cracking sounds from
one of the resistors nearby.

I am thinking of installing a condenser (sp?) which should hold the charges
from the resistors.

Any idea if this should work, or am I lost out in this?

Thanks,

Resistors aren't supposed to make crackling sounds - ever. If it is
getting hot and burning then something downstream may be shorted and
drawing excessive current thru it.
