Hammond B2 static

[Jim Conley]

I have a1954 Hammond b2 with static. Sound like a bad tube. I have replaced each tube one at a time, have replace both can caps and cleaned the tube sockets. Still has static. What should I check next. Any help would be appreciated..

Tubes don't make that noise. Bad contacts do, and failing capacitors do.

Does any one have a Hammond b2 Pre-amp parts list?

If anyone is interested it was the c15 capacitor. Changed it and all is well. Thanks George for your help.

Congratulations and thanks!

What is C15? A coupling or bypass capacitor? Was it paper?
