Hello,
I am hoping for some help in diagnosing issues with my vintage blue tuck and roll head.
I believe this is an early head, which has a bright switch, and separate inputs for low and high.
The model number is 3-15J-1 and is marked 'Kustom by Ross, inc.'

For starters,
When i plug into the low inputs, I get a machine / hum modulation. This is with no sound coming through the quarter inch jack into the unit. It sounds a bit like an engine idle.

Any feedback on where i should start troubleshooting the amp would be appreciated.
I did switch over to a grounded cord and replaced the death cap.

Thanks,
Brian
