Hard to compress symptom in subject line accurately. Sansui model 6060 am/fm stereo reciever amp. If unit is cold (sitting hours) and I power it on, it has no sound at all, either channel.(meters indicate FM signal is tuning and recieved) After a few minutes I hear a low volume very distorted audio, gradually increasing in volume and clearing as well, till it's full volume and clear.Will stay that way as long as it's run. Sometimes, starts cold with the low distorted audio.and again, gets better. Both channels equally affected. not a stereo expert here, and this is an oldei the customer loves. Rapping/tapping, flexing boards no effect. I'm leaning towards a thermal lytic cap... Any known histories? Same with headphones. Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc.
