My Carmen Ghia 2X10 Combo just started making a really loud horrible grating static noise any time I either play into it or even tap the top side of the amp itself. When I play a few strings lightly I might hear the guitat sound like normal, but then this monotone noise will erupt out of nowhere and sound really really bad. The noise also appears to last for half a second after I stop playing or tapping the amp. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? Thanks

Well first tighten the four bolts that hold the chassis to the cab. this makes a GOOD connection to the RF shield on the inside cab top.
But it's probably a tube, re-seat each one , one at a time with the power off. See if that helps. If not try tapping each tube with power on with say the eraser side of a pencil. See if you can induce the static if so swap that tube.

Mine did that and unfortunately it turned out to be the 5751.

Thanks a lot - I tried tapping them - it turned out to be one of the El84's.
