Sound went out on my Gorf a while back. 2A fuse on the power brick was blown. Replaced, still no sound. On the audio amp (I have the stereo amp board), tantalum cap C1 was shorted. I recently replaced it and the sound has returned, but now it's very staticky. The speech is only audible on the lowest volume setting. Potting the volume up almost cuts out the speech completely, just a couple pops and clicks when Gorf is talking. The left volume knob hardly has any effect on the sound.
Are these just bad pots, or could there be something else going on in the amp board? Anybody else had this problem?
